  • FILE_DOWNLOAD

    From Frozen Fire@IMATRIX to Digital Man on Saturday, June 29, 2002 14:55:00

    Please correct any errors in the following code

    setstr "C:\\MYDIR\\MYFILE.ZIP"
    file_download str


    I did not see a matching list of arguments for file_download. It looks as though it HAS to be used in conjunction with the get file string function.

    Would file_send be a better option?

    Thanks!

    Please correct any errors in the following code

    setstr "C:\\MYDIR\\MYFILE.ZIP"

    Remove the path information - change to "MYFILE.ZIP", and the file must be in your file database.

    file_download str

    Remove "str" after "file_download" - file_download does not take any arguments.

    I did not see a matching list of arguments for file_download. It looks as though it HAS to be used in conjunction with the get file string function.

    No, file_download just always uses the string stored in the "str" variable as the filename to search for and download to the user.

    Would file_send be a better option?

    Only if the file is not in your file database (in which case you would need to put the full path to the filename in the "str" variable).

    Does this function also check the alias.cfg?

    alias.cfg is used for e-mail name/address aliases. Are you thinking of ftpalias.cfg? If so, the answer is no, that file is only used with the FTP server.
