- =======================================================================
- Searchlight 2.25 came with a new feature called a upload autodoor.
- It allows a sysop to run virus check programs online right after a
- file was uploaded by a user. The autodoor was a great idea but it lacked a
- way to pass on the filename to the scan program. It assumed your program
- will look in the uploads.bbs directory to get the filename. Some processers
- NEED a filename passed onto them so the autodoor was not perfect.
-
- I wrote SLCHECK for my own use to overcome this problem and release it to the
- public as freeware. The following are some of it's features...
-
- * interfaces with 3rd party utilities like PKZIP and SCAN to process files.
- * optionaly removes unwanted files from archive (bbs ads, etc...)
- * optionaly inserts your own file into the uploaded zipfile
- * optionaly inserts your own zip comment.
- * optionaly SENDS MAIL TO SYSOP with report of the upload
- * optionaly AUTOMATICLY LOWERS user access if virus is detected.
-
- There are two things that SLCHECK will assume and is hardcoded...
-
- #1 PKZIP.EXE PKUNZIP.EXE SLMAIL.EXE VALIDATE.EXE and SCAN.EXE are in
- the DOS path statement.
-
- #2 All uploads go to subdirectoy called UPLOADS.BBS off main bbs directory
-
-
- QUICK START:
- To install SLCHECK simple place it in your bbs main directory and type
- SLCHECK /C to get the configuration screen. Answer the questions and then
- install it as an upload autodoor. You must pass on the users name as a
- paramider like this... (SLCHECK %U) and let Searchlight take care of I/O
- by using the 'force-color' or 'standard' option. Since SLCHECK writes
- temp files you must allow disk writes. That's all to it!
-
- WHAT IT DOES:
- After a user uploads a file, SLCHECK will create a temp directory
- called slcheck and copy or unzip the file from uploads.bbs to there. It will
- then use SCAN.EXE to scan the files and send a report to a file called
- SLCHECK.RPT. Then if the upload was zipped, it can add your comments and or
- bbs ads in the archive and or remove un-wanted files from the archive.
-
- It will then use slmail to send the report to the SYSOP so he knows a
- new file has been uploaded. Lastly it will remove the temp directory and exit.
-
- While the program is running the online user will see what is happening while
- he or she is waiting. The remote screen looks great but due to direct screen
- writes of programs like SCAN, the local screen may get messed up.
-
- DISCLAIMER:
- Feel free to use this program at your own risk. I'm too chicken to be held
- responsible for damages or lost data thru the use or misuse of this program.
