- Most failed requests to the archive-server (ANY archive-server)
- are due to incorrect format of the request. In the case of the
- one in use at halcyon.com, send your request to mailserv@halcyon.com
- (actually most variations on that theme will work). Subject can
- be anything, but in the text of the message, flush left:
-
- send directory/subdirectory/filename.ext
-
- In the case of helld107.zip:
-
- send waffle/news/helld107.zip
-
- For an index:
-
- index
-
- and for help:
-
- help
-
- The root directory (/archive) and the primary subdir (pub) must
- not be specified, neither should the directory be prefaced with
- a '/'. For those that have not received a response, apologies,
- and try again. You SHOULD have received some sort of an ack,
- even on a failed request.
-
