See my reply to Robert that I just posted.. I use bbbs's ftp daemon to deliver
and pick up from a few nodes.

This is the command file I use for one of them:

ftp.fidonet.ca
user

put 1:140/3
cd ..
quit

This is nicer than say proftpd, etc. because you specify the node number as I
do above and all traffic for that node goes out, etc..  A simple line in the
[node remap] section is also used for this.  Please see my note to Robert
though for more details or search in sysop.gui for batch ftp.

Take care,
Janis
