   FTP Fido via BBBS?

   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
