This is a great set of scripts originally written by Mercyful Fate
to transfer FTN packets via ftp.

This is a great way to transfer mail packets, but it's not the only way.
You can use other protocols like BinkP or TransX to move mail around, but
that's a tad beyond the scope of this document.  For now we still to the good,
old, and reliable FTP.

The ftp set of scripts contains 5 files, a bash script and config file for
sending mail (putftp.sh and put.cfg) , a bash script and config file for
receiving mail (getftp.sh and get.cfg) and a bash script to be executed via a
cron job (mail.sh).

You will need to create a few directories in order to get these scripts up
and running.  You will need a scripts directory and an ftp directory inside
of the scripts dir.

You will also need to either compile or install lftp.  Other client ftp
packages should work with minimal modifications like ncftpput and ncftpget,
but for the purpose of this set of scripts you will need lftp installed.

I have commented in each file what you need to change to get this working.

If you have any questions you can find me in #bbs on irc.bbs-scene.org or
you can contact me via the Hysteria bbs at telnet://hysteriabbs.com
