[02] HOW CAN I SETUP MY GOPHERSPACE?
|
||
|
|
||
|
This document was written with 'mkgopher' in mind. You may be
|
||
|
managing your space from the UNIX shell, but since 'mkgopher'
|
||
|
uses common UNIX commands, this should still be helpful.
|
||
|
|
||
|
SETUP
|
||
|
----
|
||
|
This will create the directory for the top level of your GOPHERSPACE.
|
||
|
Your URL will be "gopher://sdf.org/1/users/username" (or
|
||
|
"gopher://sdf-eu.org/1/users/username") where 'username' is your UNIX
|
||
|
user id. During your 'mkgopher' session, this directory will be
|
||
|
present. If you don't create anyfiles or directories, the space
|
||
|
will be removed to keep our site clean.
|
||
|
|
||
|
NOTE: Unfortunately, most web browsers do not render gopher pages
|
||
|
properly, let alone grok Gopher URLs.
|
||
|
|
||
|
TITLE
|
||
|
-----
|
||
|
Your GOPHER URL is gopher://sdf.org/1/users/login (or
|
||
|
gopher://sdf-eu.org/1/users/login) where 'login' is the UNIX user id
|
||
|
you use to login to SDF. Your SITE name is your 'login'. Since that
|
||
|
is limited to 8 characters, you can use TITLE to set a 50 character
|
||
|
or less title for your site.
|
||
|
|
||
|
DESCRIBE
|
||
|
--------
|
||
|
For each directory you create in your GOPHERSPACE you can use the
|
||
|
DESCRIBE command to create a detailed description. This entry is
|
||
|
limited to 9 lines of roughly 50 characters per line.
|
||
|
|
||
|
MKDIR
|
||
|
-----
|
||
|
Create a subdirectory within your GOPHERSPACE.
|
||
|
|
||
|
RMDIR
|
||
|
-----
|
||
|
Remove a subdirectory within your GOPHERSPACE.
|
||
|
|
||
|
PICO
|
||
|
----
|
||
|
Edit and publish a document. You can also use this as a way to
|
||
|
cut and paste text from your computer terminal to SDF. ASCII upload
|
||
|
mode can also be used, just start sending text once you open the
|
||
|
editing buffer.
|
||
|
|
||
|
UPLOAD
|
||
|
------
|
||
|
This should be used for large text files or binary data that cannot
|
||
|
be transmitted via an ASCII transfer. UPLOAD uses the ZMODEM file
|
||
|
transfer protocol which some terminal emulators support (TeraTerm ..)
