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:

1. Return with an errorlevel different

from 0.

1. 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")

1. None : No action (but upload is not

credited to the user's account)

1. Move : The file is moved to a different

area (specified in “bad file

                                      area")

1. 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.
