Most Common Fserve Navagation Commands

ls - list
ls which stands for list, is a command that allows you to see what directory you are currently in, and what folder/filles are there. This usually lists the files left to right. To use the list command just type ls.

dir - Directory
This command does the same deal as the ls command, but lists the files top to bottom. To use the directory command type dir.

cd - Change Directory
This command is what lets you move from one folder to the next. For example say you are in the main directory. You already used the ls or dir commands to see what other files/folders you could access. So you find a folder called "Stuff" and you want to enter that folder so you can see what files are offered in there. Then you would type this: cd Stuff That will allow you to access that folder.

get - Download
This is the command that some Fserves use to download files from their server. Once you find a file you would like to download, for example we will call this file "example.mp3". What you would do is type the following: get example.mp3.

[u]Most Common Information Commands[/b]
who - Who else is on the Fserve
This command lets you see who else is currently accessing the same Fserve as you. To use this command just type who

stats - Fserve Statistics
This command lets you access information about the Fserve such as, How many times it was accessed, How many files it has sent, and usually records, or most popular downloads. To use this command simply type stats.

queues - Line of people waiting to download
Since everything on IRC fserves can't be quick get and send there is que list that you might have to wait in till the Fserve has an open slot. This also helps in letting you know how long it will take for you to start your download, and also what number in line you are. queues is the command you would use for this function.

clr_queues - Clears your downloads in que
This command is here incase you accidently set to download a file, that didn't start downloading yet and is in line in the que list. The command removes the downloads you have set. To use it type clr_queues.

terms - Fserve Rules
This command is accessed by typing terms. This usually brings up a file text on the page that explains the rules of the fserver, or some sort of important notice that the owner of the fserve would like its downloaders to know. It is always a good idea to check the terms before you download anything from the server.

read - Accessing text files
This command is used when you notice a text file in the main directory. For example we will use "readme.txt". The command is used like this: read readme.txt. This is another common way that owners of the fserve will have their terms or rules viewable, without actully downloading the .txt file.

sends - Current files being sent
This lets you see what files are currently being sent by the fserver. This becomes very useful when your set in a que line, so you know when the next file is done, and you can move up in the line. Like the others to use this command just type sends
