  • Using the file move option in the file list

    From Plt@VERT/MEGABBS to All on Sun Apr 12 11:41:51 2026
    Using the move option in the file list and if you press enter without typing in the correct file area should
    abort and return to the file list.

    It would help us all if you could quote so we all know what you're talking about.

    There are like 10 ways to list files in Synchronet, so I don't know which "the file list" you're referring to. Please clarify.

    When listing the files and use the m option to move a file to a different download area.

    Filenames, specs, or flags [None]: b

    (1) Main File Library
    (2) Amiga
    (3) Apple
    (4) Commodore
    (5) FreeBSD
    (6) Linux
    (7) Microsoft Windows
    (8) OS2
    (9) Trs-80 Color Computer

    Select the file area to move the file to.

    Select the file area to move the file to.

    So here's what that full prompt looks like:

    Filenames, specs, or flags [None]: c

    (1) Main File Library
    (2) etc.

    Library [1]:

    That "[1]" means that if you just hit enter, it'll choose '1' by default. That's consistent through-out (a stock) Synchronet BBS user interface. If you want to abort, hit 'Q' or Ctrl-C.
