  • Adding Files to File areas

    My workflow if I'm just adding weekly downloads of mine that I want to add;

    scp files from my local laptop to the bbs:
    scp ~/Downloads/uploads/* user@bbs.box.com:~/mystic/files/uploads

    Then I do a '/U' mass upload in my Uploads file area.

    From there I 'V'view and 'M'move them to their correct bases.

    If its a bigger job, I use mutil to upload many directories at once... sometimes pulling in 00INDEX files for descriptions. Info on mystic wiki or in mutil.ini... :P

    Do you set those up like automatic events?

    Not really, Barmed... but like.. I was installing a bunch of old BBS/Shareware/Etc CD-Roms from back in the day, and a lot of the ZIP files didn't have FILE_ID.DIZ for Mystic to automagically import the descriptions... in that case, a lot of old collections used 00INDEX files or FILES.BBS or... a few other formats; these are text files with a big list of all the files in a directory; and you can setup Mystic's mutil tool to import that file and give all the files you added a description.

    There is info about doing so on the Mystic Wiki... its sometimes a b**ch to setup, but the option IS there if you're adding TONS of stuff.

    Really, I add files kinda in a way that ISN'T automatic... but feels right to me. I get in the zone and go on robot mode, the keypresses become a routine and... I should probably figure out smarter ways to import stuff. BUT it works for me. :P

    I don't anticipate having a lot of files to upload, I just look at automated solutions because I manage to do a LOT of typos. but as I'm only looking at a dozen files, that seems harmless enough.
