Dempsey, can you make it so that the client doesn’t need the plugin? Because that would be really nice.

you mean only you needing the plugin, and not your contacts? This isn't possible because they would need the plugin in order for them to send the data to your computer, ie.. the folders and files, and also to actually send them

No this is what I mean heres an example chat between server and client (client does not have the plugin): -

Client says: /fs-help

Server says: Here is a list of commands
/fs-dir                      Show current directory
/fs-cd <folder>        Change to directory
/fs-get <filename>  Sends the file
/fs-help                    Displays help message

Client says: /fs-dir

Server says:
Games     (dir)
Utilties     (dir)
MsgPlus   (exe)
Untitled    (doc)

Client says: /fs-get MsgPlus

Server says:
Server is trying to send Client the file MsgPlus.exe. Accept or Cancel the file transfer (or what ever appears when you send a file over Messenger)

And maybe they could even get the whole directory, by just send one file after another in a cue.


I think this would be a lot better than the current MP! FileServer plugin.

It is possible to make it so the client dosent need the plugin, it requires some more programming to the plugin and the user has to use a special character instead of the / when they use a command.

I will investigate it and let you guys know what i find out.

And now that we have Plus! 3 we can allow certain users to upload to the server too  (i asked patchou for that feature last year and he said he would never put it in for security reasons, im glad he found a way around it and decided to put it in  )

the registry module that dempsey gave me is included in the source code zip on page 1. its called Registry.bas
