- (L)ocate Files by Name - Function Help
- --------------------------------------
-
- Subcommands: (filename/wildcard) (A) (D) (N) (U) (NS)
-
- (filename/wildcard) is the filename to scan for
- (A) scans all available file directories
- (D) download all files found
- (N) combine the search with a date scan
- (S) with (N) indicates new files since last date scanned
- (U) scans only the available upload file directories
- (NS) displays listing in non-stop mode
-
- Description: Allows you to search the file directory listings for filenames
- which match those you are looking for. You can also use
- valid DOS wildcards in your filename request if you are unsure
- of the exact filename you are looking for.
-
- Examples: L TEST A - search all directories for a file called TEST
- L TEST*.* A - search all for any file beginning with TEST
- L TEST A D - find TEST and download it
- L TEST*.* U - find TEST*.* in the UPLOAD directory
- L TEST*.* N A - find only new files matching TEST*.*
-
- Other examples of wildcards: TEST? TEST?.ZIP ??TEST.*
-
- NOTE: If the filename is less than 8 characters long and no wildcards have
- been used it automatically appends "*.*" to the name (i.e. searching for TEST
- turns into TEST*.*).
-
- If an invalid file is requested it will automatically switch to a Z)ippy search
- command
