Our list has Files= No as the default. I've never used the AFD
command and am unsure as to how it works. What I'm looking for
is the proper syntax for a subscriber to set Files= Yes F=Mail
with AFD. The general refcard has this:
Commands related to file server functions
-----------------------------------------
AFD Automatic File Distribution
ADD fn ft <filelist <prolog>> Add file or generic entry to
your AFD list
DELete fn ft <filelist> Delete file(s) from your AFD
list (wildcards are supported)
List Displays your AFD list
For node administrators:
FOR user ADD/DEL/LIST etc Perform requested function on
behalf of a user you have
control over (wildcards are
supported for DEL and LIST)
FUI File Update Information: same
syntax as AFD, except that FU
ADD accepts no 'prolog text'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, if I wanted to have automatic file distribution via email, would I
send in something like this?
set listname files f=mail
afd
The goal is to automatically send via email all new files to those who
want them. Will this automatically send updates of files? We're not
interested in specifying fn ft; either one gets all new files automatically
or gets none.
Does the subscriber have to be set Mail= Yes, or will the files be sent
regardless of how the mail option is set?
Just what does FUI do?
I want to check this out for myself with some test files so I'm sure
I know how it works before I try to explain it to our subscribers.
