- File Uploading
- --------------
- Uploading a file to ^nodetitle is very simple with ^variantname. The basic
- format is
-
- <.E>nter [protocol specifier] <F>ile
-
- The protocol specifier is optional, but if you don't specify one, it will
- default to Xmodem.
-
- ^variantname supports the following protocols internally for uploading:
-
- <X>modem, <Y>modem (SINGLE FILE mode), and <W>xmodem.
-
- Additionally, ^nodetitle has the following protocols available for upload
- usage as external drivers:
-
- ^ulprotocols
-
- To use any of these protocols for an upload, simply type their letter where
- "protocol specifier" was mentioned before. For example, to upload a file
- to the system using Ymodem, you'd type
-
- <.E>nter <Y>modem <F>ile
-
- The system will prompt for a name. If the file already exists, you won't
- be allowed to upload the file.
-
- You are not finished with your upload
- activity when the file has been transferred. First, ^variantname may ask you if
- you want a file integrity check performed on the file if its extension (don't
- worry if you don't understand this) is ARC, ZIP, ZOO, or LZH. You can decline
- if you wish, of course. If the integrity check fails, you will be asked if
- the upload should be aborted.
-
- If no check was performed, or if it was successful, or if you didn't abort
- the upload process because of a failure, you will then be asked to add a file
- comment to your upload. ^variantname will simply dump you into the message
- editor, thus placing you in a friendly, familiar environment for composing a
- file comment which will enlighten your fellow users as to your file's contents
- and usage. Please feel free to speak at length if necessary, the limit on
- the size of a file comment is quite large.
-
- Batch uploads (that is, many files at a time) are prohibited.
