<p> </p>
<pre>The syntax of the various FBBDOS commands is very close to that of <br>MsDos(R).<br><br>Several specific commands have been added: PUT and GET for ASCII file<br>transfers. XPUT, YPUT and XGET, YGET for binary file transfers.<br><br>EDIT command for ASCII files editing.<br><br>When entering FBBDOS, the prompt shows the virtual directory in which the<br>user is located. There is no physical drive concept (A, C, etc...), the user<br>is situated in a directory defined in the <a href="fmtinit.htm">INIT.SRV</a> file; this directory<br>becomes the root of the available directory tree. Should the user be a SYSOP,<br>and if he successfully validated his privileges using the SYS command, the<br>root of FBBDOS will be the root of the current drive.<br><br>A file created by a user belongs to this user.<br>Only the owner of the file, or a SYSOP granted writing privileges (SYS<br>command) are permitted to delete or modify this file.<br><br><font color="#ff0000">BGET file </font>:<br> A binary file is downloaded from the BBS. The Autobin protocol is used.<br><br><font color="#ff0000">BPUT file</font> :<br> A binary file is uploaded to the BBS. The Autobin protocol is used. <br><br><font color="#ff0000">CD directory</font> :<br> Changes the active directory. This command allows you to move within the<br>directory tree by changing the active directory. "CD.." changes back by one<br>directory "upstream" towards the root.<br><br><font color="#ff0000">COPY Origin Destination</font> :<br> Copies a file into another file. If the destination file already exists, it<br>must belong to the user.<br><br><font color="#ff0000">DEL file</font> :<br> Deletes a file. A file cannot be deleted if it does not belong to the user.<br><br><font color="#ff0000">DIR [mask]</font> :<br> Displays all the files contained in the directory or these corresponding to<br>the mask if it is specified. If the mask matches a directory name, the<br>content of this directory will be listed.<br><br><font color="#ff0000">DOS Program Arguments</font> :<br> Allows a remote SYSOP (after SYS command) to run a DOS program. This program<br>can not expect keyboard input. A list of arguments can be specified. The<br>output to the screen will be send to the remote SYSOP at the completion of<br>the program. If the program expects inputs, after a time-out of 2'45, it will<br>be aborted (if possible) and the normal operation will resume.<br><br><font color="#ff0000">DU [mask]</font> : Gives the size of the tree, and local used disk.<br><br><font color="#ff0000">EDIT file</font> :<br> Edition of a text file, using the line editor. If the file already exists,<br> it must belong to the user. <a href="doclined.htm">Instructions on how to use the line editor</a> is<br> in a seperat section of this documentation.<br><br><font color="#ff0000">EXIT</font> : Exit FBBDOS and return to the BBS or server.<br><br><font color="#ff0000">GET file</font> :<br> Displays the content of an ASCII file. Such a display is never scrolled by<br>pages, and ends with a Ctrl-Z, thus allowing ASCII file transfers from the<br>BBS to the user.<br><br><font color="#ff0000">LIST mask</font> :<br> Displays all the files contained in the directory or these matching the mask<br>specified. if the mask matches a directory name, the content of this<br>directory will be listed. Each line displays the filename and a descriptive<br>comment (cf YI command).<br><br><font color="#ff0000">MD directory</font> :<br> Creates a new directory. The new directory is appended next to the current<br>directory.<br><br><font color="#ff0000">O</font> : Display various options.<br><br><font color="#ff0000">OL</font> : Lists the available languages.<br><br><font color="#ff0000">OL number</font> : To select a language.<br><br><font color="#ff0000">OP</font> : Validates or disables the scrolling of pages.<br><br><font color="#ff0000">OP nbr of lines</font> : Set how many lines per page in page scrolling.<br><br><font color="#ff0000">PRIV</font> :<br> Access to a private directory (or return to Fbb-Dos directories).

Several users may share a private directory.<br><br><font color="#ff0000">PUT file</font> :<br> Accepts an ASCII file from a user. The file must end with a Ctrl-Z to be<br>validated. If the file already exists, it should belong to the user.<br><br><font color="#ff0000">RD directory</font> :<br> Deletes a directory. A directory cannot be deleted as long as it is not<br>empty.<br><br><font color="#ff0000">TYPE file</font> :<br> Displays the content of an ASCII file.

This command<br>works only on a PSTN modem port.<br><br><font color="#ff0000">YGET file</font> :<br>A binary file is downloaded from BBS. <br>Via radio:<br>Both YAPP and YAPC protocols may be used. <br>Via telephone-modem:<br>YGET starts the YMODEM, YMODEM-batch or YMODEM-G protocols.<br><br><font color="#ff0000">YPUT file</font> :<br>A binary file is uploaded to the BBS. <br>Via radio:<br>Both YAPP and YAPC protocols may be used.<br>Via telephone-modem:<br>YPUT starts the YMODEM protocole.
