I am taken aback to find that Mr. Boyd is so heavily commited *around the calendar.* More strength to him when he says he needs no other rest, but many of us could do to be reminded to unhook ourselves from time to time from the assets of the virtual world. Work hygiene is involved. A car runs out of gasoline and gets us onto terra firma but one can hack around the clock when using computer. I discover that switching off gives new creativity, avoids the onset of stupor and dullness, high-blood pressure and impaired vision. Instead of only a download report on servers, would it be possible to ask for a volunteer to make a remedial post once a week? A weekly post would be a useful task for a person studying computers and health impairment. Let's recollect that the great hooker tobacco was ignored for years until the Surgeon-General had to come in.

Not with the bitftp mailers. However, if you use one of the ftpmail servers that support the reply-to keyword, then you can redirect the mail to that address.

Boyd" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: FTP by Gophermail Accmailers, After my previous answer about FTP sites by gophermail I decided to finally figure out how to get an FTP file directory listing of an ftp site by gophermail. Well, guess what? I did it. Using the example requested by Alexander A. Chistyakov To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] # Split=0 Name=Directory Listing Type=1 Port=70 Path=ftp:ftp.freebsd.org@/pub/ Host=gopher.eunet.cz The format for the body of the message is as follows: # [use as separator if you want more that one file retrieval] Split=0 [use 0 if you want to receive one large file - default is 27Kb] Name= [Subject title that you want returned in your E-mail message] Type= [9 for binary, 0 for text file, 1 for directory listing] Port=70 [default gopher port] Path=ftp:[Name]@/[Path]/[File] [where Name is ftp site name, Path is file path, File is the filename you wish to retrieve] Host= [gopher site that supports file transfers] In this case there was no file to retrieve, so the [File] part is omitted from the Path. Also because he wanted a directory listing, the Type=1 is used rather than Type=0 which implies a text file retrieval. I'll have to start working on more of this and finish the section in my howto1.html document, because this will give us another method for large FTP files. -- Gerry Boyd -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Feb 1999 16:43:01 -0500 From: Mike Webb <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: How to ask for a file on behalf of someone ?? Per my earlier message, here's an excerpt from the HELP file at BITFTP. You would use the PATH command to request a file that is to be sent to another address. ------- Forwarded Message Follows ------- BITFTP attempts to determine your return address by parsing the mail file it receives from you. It uses the address specified in a "Reply-to:" line in the mail headers in preference to the address specified in the "From:" line. If you specify a "PATH" command in the body of the mail, that address will be used in preference to either the "Reply-to:" or "From:" address. The format of a "PATH" command is simply "PATH userid@nodeid". If you are on BITNET/EARN/NetNorth, you should not specify a path. In general, you need specify a path only if you get no response from requests to BITFTP otherwise. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Feb 1999 16:15:31 -0500 From: Mike Webb <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: How to ask for a file on behalf of someone?? > From: "Gerald E.

Send a "help" request to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and the resulting file will document it. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Feb 1999 13:57:16 -0800 From: "Gerald E.
