Hi everybody,
I'm new to the Mystic BBS system and have some questions about Mystic's 'mutil mass upload.ini'.
Creating a massupload.ini is easy enough. I understand that it searches for new files (and ignores any files I define) and uploads them to the BBS. What I don't understand is that when I then go into the BBS I see
the new files listed in my Local file areas (say 'demos', or
'utilities'), but that they also appear in the fsxnet group file areas with a tag NEW. It's as if they're being duplicated.
Are they being duplicated into fsxnet or is this simply the
way Mystic displays new files alert to fsxnet? Obviously I don't want to upload any files but keep them Local only.
Any help would be appreciated!
Cheers,
Olrik

Okay - This is simple and one mistake I made a lot when I first started out.
Do me a favor, go to your System Configuration panel (Under SYSOP Menu) and select the File Bases editor. Check each one and make sure that the FSXNET and local filebases are both put into seperate directories for
each filebase. If not, then you'll have to manually remove the files
from those folders and create new ones unique to the FSXNET Filebases. Each filebase uses a dedicated folder for each base, and if two
As I said in my last message, the files should go into dedicated folders for each filebase. The only reason why I'd see local files appearing in FSXNET filebases is that.
AFAIK, you should be fine regarding uploading files, as the hub usually doesn't permit upstream file transmission and usually 'hatches' files
from RISA (FSXNET's Hub 1) to the other hubs, like THOLIAN (Hub 2) and
the sort, and on down to each Hub's respective nodes, and from there, to any points under any nodes.
When I went into File menu, and File Indexer (I), I saw my Local file bases populated correctly. For some reason however Indexer shows them
also on fsxnet, but that can't be correct. Because when I actually
swtich group to fsxnet then I don't see my local file areas. Maybe it's just the way Indexer is displaying it.. I guess.. ~!-
What do your List ACS lines say?
In mystic messages groups are defined with g and file areas with z
In my uploads directory the List acs is s10z1 and those only show up for group 1.
Similar to the way message areas work but with z1 rather than g1.
I hope that make sense.. :)
Hey Nodoka,
Thanks for your help in setting it up..
And Al has figured out what was wrong with the uploaded files appearing
in all areas..turns out I wasn't defining the file areas.. 'z3' etc. I fixed it and now it's all cream cheese!
Actually, you need to have different data files for each Library. If you have the same data file setup you will have all the files go into every library listing, not necessarily into the folders. I keep my libraries
on a server shared folder, I have them broken down like everyone else. Each one has a different data file name, the default is new make sure
you change that. I use the title if it is a local lib locutilities if networked xxx (net identifier) name of library (ex. fsxnodelist).. Check that...
Also, make sure you reflect the correct location in your mailin.ini if
you specify already (for future AreaFix subscribes). I think I'm dispensing with good advice here, but I may be totally wrong, and have been before :)

Hey Tallsip,
Not sure I understand this. Am I editing mailin.ini to reflect my local defined filebases and zones, or..?
