Files

Question:
How do I add files to the file database?

Answer:
The easiest way is to use the ADDFILES utility which can automatically detect and import embedded descriptions (e.g. FILE_ID.DIZ).

A files.bbs list is not necessary for adding files. Use ADDFILES * /DIZ to search all directories for a new files.bbs, import any embedded descriptions (e.g. FILE_ID.DIZ), and delete the files.bbs after importing it. If you don't have a file list (e.g. files.bbs) to import just use ADDFILES * /SZN to search all directories for new files and use embedded (FILE_ID.DIZ) description files, if they exist.

You may also use the ;UPLOAD sysop command via the terminal server to add files from the local file system into the file database.
