-
- FTP by Email is only 1 in a series of PCBoard PPE's I have
- written. The purpose of these PPE's is to give a Sysop who can't
- afford a direct internet connection, a way to supply his or her
- users with some internet services. Right now I have 3 PPE's in the
- series. World Wide Web by Email, ARCHIE by Email and WWW by Email.
-
- Installing the ppe is easy.
-
- Step 1:
-
- Create a directory and unzip FTP.ZIP
- example
- md c:\pcb\ppe\ftp
- cd c:\pcb\ppe\ftp
- pkunzip ftp.zip
-
- Step 2:
-
- Install the file ftp.ppr as a command in PCBoards CMD.LST file!
-
- Load the PCBoard Setup Program
-
- Choose option B, File Locations
-
- Choose option B, Configuration Files
-
- The 8th file down is CMD.LST file, press F2 to edit it.
-
- You now are in the CMD.LST Editor
-
- Insert a new command line by pressint ALT-I
-
- Add the command as such:
- Charges per PPE/MNU File specification -or-
- Command Sec Minute Use KeystrokeSubstitution
- ══════════════ ═══ ═════════════════ ═════════════════════════════════
- FTP 0 0 0 C:\PCB\PPE\FTP\FTP.PPE
-
- Step 3:
-
- Using either PCBEDIT or DOS EDIT, Edit the file called "FTP.CFG"
- This file contains the number of your internet email conference.
- For example my internet email conference is 5, so my FTP.CFG file
- contains the number 5 in it.
-
- Step 4:
-
- Edit your menu file to reflect that a new command has been added.
-
- That's it! Your users may now start entering URL's.
-
-
- How does it work?
-
- It's simple. A user enters a HOST name like somesite.with@good.files.com,
- a UNIX directory name line /PUB, and a file name like some_unix_style_file.
- A email request is sent to an FTP Email server. Then when your next UUCP
- event occurs, the email is sent to the server. By the time your next
- UUCP event occurs, the user should have an email response with the FILE
- in it or a status report about the request! It sometimes takes several
- hours for the FTP EMAIL SERVER to get to your request.
