SYNOPSIS

    File Upload - different ways of getting files into the mud



DESCRIPTION



    The Land offers several different ways of editting files on

    the MUD:



    1. Use ed

    The primitive, built-in editor



    2. Use mudFTP

    mudFTP is a specialized, primitive protocol for transferring

    files from and to muds. Get a mudFTP client from

    http://www.andreasen.org/mudftp/ and configure it for

    The Land in "Push mode". Afterwards, you can use the command

    "mudftp" in the MUD to request sending files to you. The

    files will be sent to your connected mudFTP client - you can

    edit them and afterwards mudFTP will send them back.



    3. Use WebDAV (recommended)

    Access to /doc, /dom/main and your homedirectory is also

    available via a WebDAV client. You have to change your Wizards

    password at least once for generating your WebDAV password,

    afterwards you can point your WebDAV client to one of the

    following:



    https://dav.spin.de/mud.spin.de/home/yourusername/

    https://dav.spin.de/mud.spin.de/dom/main/

    https://dav.spin.de/mud.spin.de/doc/



    Login and password for WebDAV are your Wizard login.



    Information about configuring WebDAV is available at

    https://dav.spin.de/ (german) and

    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q195851



    4. Use MCP (also recommended)

    MUD Clients specialized for the MOO type of MUDs often also

    offer support for a thing called MudClientProtocol. Connect

    with an MCP client and you can use the new command

    "mcp edit" to send files to your editor, edit them there, and

    send them back.



    MCP Clients are e.g. GMoo (http://www.nowmoo.demon.nl/),

    tkMOO-light (http://www.awns.com/tkMOO-light/),

    Trebuchet (http://www.belfry.com/fuzzball/trebuchet/),

    or VMoo for Windows (http://www.vmoo.com/en/),

    Beryllium MOOps! (http://beryllium.net/moops-en/index.php).



    MCP Support is also available for TinyFugue - but that

    implementation is rather incomplete and buggy, we do not

    recommend it.



    5. MUME Local editting (currenty unsupported by The Land)

    Clientsupport in: CanCan, PowTTY (http://www.elvenrunes.com/powtty/),

    PowWow (Windows: http://axel.trocha.com/powwow/ and

            Linux: http://Linuz.sns.it/~max/powwow/)
