There is a specific format of data in the 'anylist.catalog' (or any such sub-catalog). Please reread Sec 8.4 of the Site Manager's manual. >That command returned a "successfully stored" message, but I have not >sucessfully PUT test.list yet. Files called *.list have a special meaning to LISTSERV, they are usually the actual active list file for a particular list. I suggest you change the name to test.txt or something else that doesn't use a filetype that LISTSERV reserves for other purposes. >It seems to me that, since there could >ultimately be multiple files in various different sub-catalogs with the >same name, just sending: > > PUT test.list pw=mypassword > document text > >as the documentation says should not be sufficient.

A "GET >anylist.catalog" command returns the catalog with the "test.file" line, so, >in short, I have wondered about this too, but if the Non-VM PUT syntax borrows from the VM syntax, the format would be PUT test.list anylist pw=mypassword Although I suspect this doen't work either... 8-( >How does one properly PUT a file that is registered in a sub-catalog? Let's get rid of 'test.list' first and make it 'test.txt' to make sure that's not confusing things. >BYW, I am not the listed "PUT FAC" owner of the file (that's >OWNER(anyfile)) and have been doing my testing as a site administrator. This could be part of the problem, although the SiteAdmin, working from the admin userID/address and using the createpw should have 'super-owner' powers as well. >Thanks.
