- File Handling Summary
- ---------------------
-
- A directory room is distinguished by its prompt. A ']' or a ':' indicates
- the current room is a directory room.
-
- Getting lists of files:
-
- For a list of available files in this room, including file comments:
-
- <.R>ead <E>xtended [file-specs] [date-specs]
-
- For a short listing of available files in this room:
-
- <.R>ead <D>irectory [file-specs] [date-specs]
-
- Modifiers for getting lists of files are <P>hrase (search the comment field
- for the given phrase) and <G>lobal (read directories throughout the entire
- system rather than just the current room).
-
- Uploading files:
-
- The basic format is
-
- <.E>nter [protocol specifier] <F>ile
-
- The various protocols ^nodetitle has available are in the help file named
- PROTOCOL (see below); default is <X>modem. ^nodetitle may, at the option of
- the sysop, check the integrity of your uploads if they are ARC, ZOO, ZIP, or
- LZH files.
-
- Downloading Files:
-
- The basic format is
-
- <.R>ead [protocol specifier] [<B>inaryfile or <T>extfile [<F>ormatted]]
-
- The default protocol is ASCII. Use <B>inaryfile unless you have a good
- reason to use <T>extfile, such as using its <F>ormatted option, when you want
- to view a textfile with it formatted to your screen width.
