This script allows people on an IRC server to list directories and
download files (with restrictions on what they can access) from your
harddrive.

AmiServ does a good job except for failing to mention to set the +s
protection bit on the .amirx file, and it won't send files with spaces
in the filename or directory (which you can blame AmIRC for).

This trick uses a simple trick to get around that, just by *moving* the
file to the root dir of the partition, renaming the file, then sending it,
and moving/renaming it back.

I wrote this script in minutes (the bulk of it) so don't expect anything
fancy yet (or ever). It doesn't use DCC CHAT sessions, it sends big
directories as files.


Installation:

Copy FServ.amirx to AmIRC:Rexx/

Make a FServ.dirs.txt file listing all of the directories people are
allowed access to, 1 line per directory. (They will have access to the
subdirectories of those too). Put that in AmIRC:

Copy Move to C:


Usage:

Type /rx FServ.
/msg <yournick> &fserv   for more help.


Features:

- Sends large directories as files, instead of /msg
- Supports files/dir with spaces.
- Directories listed in a file are the directories people are allowed to
  access (including sub-directories).
- Has security. No double-slashes ("//") allowed.
