  • new file area creation

    From Alessandro Trebbi@2:331/313 to All on Sat Apr 25 15:40:14 2020

    Is there way to import file areas from a root directory ?

    The file areas contains already a files.bbs index file, each directory should become a file area inside mystic bbs

    Could not find a suitable option in mutil

    I'm not sure exactly what your wanting to do but you can create areas by importing a FILEBONE format file which can be generated pretty easily (its
    just a text file with a simple format).

    There is a function called "Import FILES.BBS" in MUTIL. It can import lots
    of formats of text file-based listings including all of the FILES.BBS formats I've seen and PCBoard too.

    But you can also just do a mass upload and let Mystic export the descriptions from the file_id files within each archive too.
