[comp.sys.atari.st] Proper syntax on getting files

Z4648252@SFAUSTIN.BITNET (Z4648252) (06/22/89)

    Could a helpful soul show me what I am doing wrong in requesting
     files?  Note that I have tried upper and then lower case.  This is
     the lower case attempt:

     send binaries/volume1/idle12
     send binaries/volume2/arc521b
     send binaries/volume2/monofont
     send binaries/volume2/timecode


         I get back the following error report:

The SSYX archive server has received your request.
     The server could not find in your message the name of anything to send.
     If you need instructions, send the server a message saying "help"

    I know that I am going to feel real stupid, but what am I doing
     wrong?  I have followed, or so I thought, the server's instructions
     perfectly.  Like I say, real stupid.

(sorry 'bout the composition of this thing.  We're having other problems
as well!)

	The command should be:-

	send binaries/volume2 arc521b

	It is necessary to separate the file from the pathname. This
	problem had me running round in circles a few weeks back until it
	finally dawn on me..

Try this, I think it will solve your problem:

send binaries/volume1 idle12
                     ^
                     Note space instead of "/"

I did the same thing first time out!

	Of course that won't work you have to read the instructions
	very carefully, the right syntax is.


	    send binaries/volume1 idle12
   	    send binaries/volume2 arc521b
	    send binaries/volume2 monofont
	    send binaries/volume2 timecode
				 
                                 note the blank at this positon it is nesseary
  
         if you want to get somthing from the server which is split
 	 into parts the syntax is

	 send binaries/volume1/turtle part01	
	 send binaries/volume1/turtle part02
  

	and so on.

	Hope it will help

I think you need to seperate the file name from the directory path.

     send binaries/volume1 idle12
     send binaries/volume2 arc521b
     send binaries/volume2 monofont
     send binaries/volume2 timecode

You could also do something like this.

     send binaries/volume2 arc521b monofont timecode
     or
     send binaries/volume2/bubble part01 part02

Hope that helps...

The following will also work:

send binaries/volume1/turtle part01 part02
