Toss TIC+files into BBS and to subscribed downlinks

The '[Filetoss]' stanza tasks MUTIL with processing .TIC files found in your defined 'Inbound Echomail' path.

MUTIL then will move/upload those files to the appropriate file bases (optionally creating them) in Mystic. Files are then further tossed to the fileboxes of all downlinks that are connected to a file base.

To enable this function you modify the '[general]' stanza as follows:

[general]

Filetoss           = true

There a several switches you can configure that relate to this function.

Bad Files

Directory where failed files are moved, or comment out to disable archive of failed files. This includes incorrect file sizes, bad CRC, missing area when auto-create is disabled, duplicate files, unsecured, etc.

bad_dir=c:\mystic\files\badfile
Unsecure Files

This setting instructs Mystic to toss .TIC files from the defined unsecure directory in addition to secure inbound directory.

This setting uses a Boolean True or False switch.

unsecure_dir = false

This next setting if set 'true' tasks MUTIL to process files that are FROM an unknown node. If 'false', they will be moved to the 'bad' directory or deleted depending on configuration. An 'unsecure' node is one that is not directly configured as an Echonode within your Mystic configuration.

This setting uses a Boolean True or False switch.

allow_unsecure = false
Default Description

What file description to use when no .DIZ, long description or description can be found from the file or .TIC file.

no_desc=No Description
Credited Uploader

This sets the name of the uploader to use when adding .TIC files into the local file bases in Mystic.

uploader=Mystic TIC
File Integrity Checks

These settings check size and CRC values supplied in .TIC file (if found) against the actual file. If the value does not match, then skip tossing the file (moving it to the 'bad' directory (if enabled))

This setting uses a Boolean True or False switch.

check_crc  = true
check_size = true
Honor REPLACE Option

If this is set to 'true', then Mystic will allow the REPLACE TIC option, which will remove and replace files by the specified file mask. This is useful if you only want to hold the latest copy of a file and ensure the previous version has been removed.

This setting uses a Boolean True or False switch.

allow_replace = true

..adding auto create section next..
