  • Question about files

    From Argos@21:1/203 to All on Friday, September 27, 2019 21:07:00
    Is it possible it hatch a file(s) in FILEFIX like going a %RESCAN in AREAFIX? it may be a dumb question, just curious.

    It's not a dumb question. You can do that if your link is running htick. Send a
    netmail to filefix with %resend filename.zip filearea in the message body and if the file is found filefix will send you the file along with a tic.

    Mystic's filefix doesn't support that. It's been brought up and I think g00r00 liked the idea but it hasn't been implimented yet.

    Allfix has a similar feature but I don't know of any other software that supports it.
