+ | === Q: How do I get files into a File Base that I've created? === | ||
+ | |||
+ | When you create a file base using the File Base Editor, you will specify a | ||
+ | directory that will contain the files you wanted listed in the file base | ||
+ | you are creating. | ||
+ | | ||
+ | Once that is done you will need to copy the files you want listed into that | ||
+ | directory, and perform what is called a "Mass Upload" | ||
+ | scans all of the File Base directories and identifies new files that have | ||
+ | not been imported into Mystic yet. For each new file it finds, it will | ||
+ | scan it for a FILE_ID file to get the description and create an entry in | ||
+ | the file listing for the file. | ||
+ | | ||
+ | There are two ways to perform a Mass Upload in the Mystic ecosystem: | ||
+ | | ||
+ | The first way is to perform a mass upload by setting " | ||
+ | your MUTIL .INI file so that any time you execute " | ||
+ | for new files and add them to your BBS automatically. | ||
+ | | ||
+ | The second way is to run the "Mass Upload" | ||
+ | the BBS. If you have SysOp access this is a more interactive way to perform | ||
+ | the mass upload. | ||
+ | to import it into the file listing. | ||
+ | file Mystic will give you the opportunity to provide the description. | ||
+ | | ||
+ | Files that have already been imported into the BBS can be edited directly in | ||
+ | the file listing but pressing " | ||
+ | up the editor for that file where you can perform many functions including | ||
+ | editing the file description using Mystic' | ||
+ | the online file listing editor SysOp command (/E by default with SysOp access) | ||
+ | to open the editor from anywhere in the BBS. | ||
+ | | ||
+ | NOTE: When performing a mass upload, Mystic will be unable to extract the | ||
+ | descriptions if the configured archive utilities are not available for Mystic | ||
+ | to use (unzip, zip, rar, etc). |
