I put a temp directory       with the same files as the main directory as a backup.              --       Shurato, Sysop Shurato's Heavenly Sphere (ssh, telnet, pop3, ftp,nntp,       ,wss) (Ports 22,23,110,21,119,999)                     ---        * Origin: Shurato's Heavenly Sphere telnet://shsbbs.net (1:340/1101)       SEEN-BY: 105/81 106/201 128/10 187 129/14 305 153/7715 154/110 218/700       SEEN-BY: 226/30 227/114 229/110 114 200 206 307 317 400 426 428 470       SEEN-BY: 229/664 700 705 266/512 291/111 300/6 320/219 322/757 340/0       SEEN-BY: 340/101 200 400 800 1100 1101 342/200 396/45 60 633/280 712/848       SEEN-BY: 902/26 5020/400 5075/35       PATH: 340/1101 400 128/187 229/426           |
