  • Download a file directly

    From Sean Dennis@1:18/200 to All on Tue Sep 3 00:20:50 2019
    Hi, everyone.

    I am wanting to a caller to download a ZIP archive directly from the main menu, specifically my othernet's infopack. Is there a direct command in Max to do this or do I have to use Key_Poke?

    Direct as in telling Max the actual filename...or maybe create a MECCA to do it...

    Later,
    Sean

    Found my maximus setup. LOL

    I used key_poke. I had offline mail in welcome.mec and used it for
    uploading / downloading.

    [/downloadbw]
    [key_poke]m;o;d;y;y
    [quit]

    [/uploadrep]
    [key_poke]m;o;z;c:\max\doors\maxrep\tinysbbs.rep;g;y;n
    [quit]

    I /think/ I had a CGI program that allowed one to upload / download offline mail and that's why this is here... though I can't remember now.

    Oooh... :D

    I used key_poke. I had offline mail in welcome.mec and used it for uploading / downloading.

    Okay, that's what I was thinking I'd have to do. Probably just easiest
    to write a MECCA script to do the deed.

    I /think/ I had a CGI program that allowed one to upload / download offline mail and that's why this is here... though I can't remember
    now.

    Oh, I'd love it if you could find that!

    Thanks for the help.

    I /think/ I had a CGI program that allowed one to upload / download offline mail and that's why this is here... though I can't remember
    now.

    It was done due to a mtel/32 maximus upload bug. As not many people
    use mtel anymore that's not really a big deal.

    Oh, I'd love it if you could find that!

    I found it, but I can't find the source code, and it's highly inter
    twined with my old setup and it wasn't very secure.
