If you desire to be able to upload files to your system remotely to any directory, the below modifications will make this all possible:
1) System Setup:
- Create a directory (or directories if your files are separated) for System, Program, Text and Help files. Make these both UPLOAD and DOWNLOAD permitted, and MAKE SURE you set it for level access 9 (or 8 if you have a co-sysop that you REALLY trust)
- save the parameters with menu option 10
2) Modify BBS.XFER file
- Change line 16155 to 16156
- For line 16155, enter:
16155 iflv=9then16160
3) Allow bypass of upload information file
- Change line 16750 to line 16754
- Create the following lines:
16750 iflv<>9then16754
16751 &"Create U/L Description? ":gosub1010:ifa$="N"thenreturn
Background:
The original line 16155 is a check to see if 1) the user matches the appropriate level for a directory and 2) the directory has a download flag set. We are leaving this intact (now at line 16156), but we added a bypass at 16155 if it is the sysop / level 9 user. If that occurs, line 16155 jumps to line 16160 and the directory is added to the available list of selections. Sysop is given the option to create an upload description or not (we don’t want these for system files).
Last step is to modify line 6510 to avoid creating a directory update. Add to start of 6510 “iflv=9thenreturn” and then do an ELSE for remaining content.
