  • Mutil FileBone import question

    From Marc Carrano@3:770/3 to All on Tue Sep 19 19:49:36 2017
    Evening,


    I am trying to import file echos using the filegate.xxx from fido. it works great but do I have to set the node address manually for each file echo?


    looking at multi.ini there does not look like there is an entry and the file editor in mystic -cfg does not have a Global config? if there an external file
    area editor that can do this or do i need to bite the bullet and just get r done.

    filename of filebone.na

    .filename = c:\mystic\na\filegate.zxx

    .; root directory to create file paths under. when a new filebone echo
    .; is found, mUtil will create a file using "root_dir" + areatag. So
    .; for example if root is "c:\mystic\filebase\" and the areatag is
    .; MYSTICBBS it will create "c:\mystic\filebase\MYSTICBBS". This root
    .; directory MUST exist.

    .root_dir = c:\mystic\files\fido
    .

    .; convert tags to lower case for filebase base filename/dir 1=yes

    .lowercase_filename = 1

    .; Default values when creating a new file base

    .dispfile =
    .template = ansiflst
    .acs_list =
    .acs_ftp =
    .acs_download =
    .acs_upload =
    .acs_hatch =
    .acs_sysop = s255

    .; true/false type values 0=false 1=true (newscan 2=forced)

    .free_files = 0
    .show_uploader = 1
    .new_scan = 1

    yes there is a global editor for message bases in mystic -cfg

    You header to editors > message base editor

    Then press TAB to select the bases to change

    Then press / key to bring up a menu and select Global

    Set fields you want to change to YES

    Set the correct setting for each field.

    Press CTRL-U to update and accept the pop up dialogue

    Hope that helps

    Best, Paul
