Minimum Upload Space …….. Space needed on the upload drive for

uploads to be allowed (in Kb).

Download Hours ………….. Pressing <ENTER> on this option opens a

window which allows you to specify during
what hours a user can download files from
your system. Hours are selectable for
each day of the week, in half hour
increments. The value of the "Ignore DL"
flag in the user's record will override any
hours you may have set here.

Check Duplicate Uploads ….. If this option is set to “Yes”, ProBoard's

Menu Function 33 (Upload a File) will check
upon completion of any upload(s) for
duplicate files. ProBoard can not check
for duplicates prior to any upload(s) due
to any batch protocols the user may choose
to use. Use this option along with the
next two options (below) to decide how you
want your system to deal with any duplicate
files your users may upload.

Kill Duplicate Uploads …… If set to “Yes”, when a user uploads a file

that already exists on your system (in the
file index) then ProBoard will delete the
file from your upload directory (as
specified in the data line of your upload
menu entry or in PROCFG). If you want to
save the duplicate files rather than have
them deleted, set this option to "No".
When does ProBoard delete the file? Great
question!!

ProBoard will delete any duplicate files
immediately after checking for dupes, even
before the user is prompted to enter a file
description, so think twice before you set
this option to "Yes".

You can also create a text file to be
displayed to your users in the event that
they do upload duplicate files. The file
that ProBoard will display must be named

─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

19
DUPESFND.A?? and be placed in your
"Textfiles" directory (usually
C:\PB\TXTFILES).

Ignore File Extensions …… If this option is set to “Yes”, then

ProBoard's duplicate checking will
consider NEWFILE.ZIP and NEWFILE.ARJ to be
the same file. So if you have NEWFILE.ZIP
on your hard drive or CD-ROM drive and a
user uploads NEWFILE.ARJ, ProBoard will
consider this to be a duplicate upload.

Be sure you understand this before setting
this option to "Yes".

Upload scanner ………….. When uploads are received, ProBoard will

run the command line specified here FOR
EACH FILE. The macro @<FILE>@ will be
replaced by the full name of the file to be
scanned (including drive and directory).
When the file is suspicious, the upload
scanner should do one of 2 things:

Return with an errorlevel different

from 0.

Create a semaphore file with a name

specified in “Semaphore”.

If the file failed the virus scan (so if a
semaphore file was created or an errorlevel
was returned), ProBoard will perform an
action on the file (defined in "action")

None : No action (but upload is not

credited to the user's account)

Move : The file is moved to a different

area (specified in “bad file

area")

Delete: The file is deleted

If you don't want to use the upload
scanner, just leave the command line for
the upload scanner blank.

Add Uploaders Name ………. If set to “Yes” the uploaders name will be to FILES.BBS added to the file name and description in

FILES.BBS.
