Hi help required. From the manual it says you can autosend files to new subscribers by creating a "subscribe.files" file?
Is there an example file I can look at? What sort of file is this???
This text file simply contains archive server commands. Of course, it's always a good idea to understand how the archive server works and what it can do (experimentation is a good idea here), but a basic subscribe.files file might contain:
get FAQ get posting_rules.txt quit
(Ok, ok, so the quit command isn't necessary.)
You can use it for cool things...like, copy the latest issue of a digest file into your archive directory using a consistant name, and send that to new subscribers.
