Felt so good...like anything was possible.... Howdy Y'all, (C'mon, fess up, y'all spect us ta talk like thet, doan `cha?) Besides announcing the files that allfix imports into your directories, you can also have it announce any files that you're users upload to your board. This is pretty simple. Open ASETUP | BBS new file dirs and you'll see Õ 1/1 ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ BBS new file directories ¸ ³ ³ ³ File area ³ ³ Desc ³ ³ Group ³ ³ ³ ÔÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ; Edit it to your boards version of the following: Õ 1/1 ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ BBS new file directories ¸ ³ ³ ³ File area Pub upload dir : C:\PCB\UPLOAD\ ³ ³ Desc New uploads to Deacon Blue's ³ ³ Group 5 - Misc ³ ³ ³ ÔÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ; File area is the directory that you have set up to recieve your callers uploads. You can put all your directories here but if you do then each time a file is moved from one directory to another is is announced as NEW. Any way, I only have on upload directory so I only have one entry in this area. If you have different conference specific or group specific upload directories then put them here also. Desc is the area description that will be put into the new file announcement. Group is the group that this belongs to. If you send out netmail announcements then a board must be authorized for this group before he'll get the announcement. (Set the authorization groups in the node manager) That should take care of it. Here's acouple of new file announcements that recently went out from Deacon Blue's in a local echo. The first is from a caller upload and the second is an abreviated list of files that came in from the LORD FDN.
