    LW> Hi All,   
    LW>    
    LW> Having recently joined FidoNet, I've successfully managed to configure   
    LW> both message and file bases so that new messages and files appear in the

   Welcome to Fidonet Lee!   
    LW> However, I seem to have the following two problems:   
    LW>    
    LW> 1) When file bases are automatically added via mutil, they are created   
    LW> with the correct "Export To: 1 node(s)", but the "Net Address" field is   
    LW> "0:0/0" (Local).   
   In the bottom of your FileToss statement you should have this setup:   
    Node-specific options allow some options to be overridden when a file is   
       ; coming from a specific node.  These options should be prefixed with the   
       ; address, examples for each supported option are listed below in comments

       1:120/457_bad_dir       = d:\mystic\files\badfile_fido\   
       1:120/457_dir_prefix    = d:\mystic\files\fido_   
       1:120/457_allow_replace = true   
       1:120/457_acs_list      = s20z3   
       1:120/457_acs_ftp       = s20z3   
       1:120/457_acs_download  = s20z3   
       1:120/457_acs_upload    = s255z3

       1:120/457_acs_sysop     = s255z3   
   Of course this is from my board so yours would need to be adjusted to fit   
   you. You should have this for every Network you belong to (and the same for   
   messages bases)   
    LW> 2) Having subscribed to certain file bases, I only receive newly added   
    LW> files as opposed to those it already contains; is there anyway to get   
    LW> the full complement of files?   
      
   If you can find a sysop who is willing to give you FTP access to there file   
   bases OR contact the IFDC Filegate http://www.filegate.net (Janis Kracht) to   
   see if you can get FTP access to "fill" your file areas.
