The /send command can be used to send files to other Alamakians. It is quite simple and works by allowing web based file upload to a blackbox directory. You can retrieve files from the blackbox but can't see the names of files there unless someone sends it to you. The box is flushed once a day at midnight. If the file already exists and has been uploaded you will get a notice that it has already been recieved.

Users can send files to Alamak Operators, type /send [nick] and the Operator will get a notice that you wish to send a file. The Operator can choose to ignore your request or permit you to upload 1 file. You will then get a notice and link to click to begin upload. Click on that and you get the upload form. It's pretty simple actually. After the upload the page will auto-refresh and send a notice and link for the Operator to download/view the file. The Operator can click on the link to download and view or ignore the link (since files may contain viruses or objectional material.

Alamak Operators can upload and send files to any user without authorization. Just type /send [nick] to get the upload form, once uploaded it will auto-refresh and send a link to download/view the file to [nick].

We have restricted this kind of file sending to Ops because regular users were uploading offensive material and it was so heavily used that it was adding significantly to our operation costs.

The real advantage to this over other types of file transfer is that by sending directly to the server it is much faster and independent of the speed of the recieving parties connection. Additionally you can then /send [nick] [file] to many friends without having to upload again!

Alamak takes no responsibility for the content of files sent through the black box ftp server. Unknown files can contain illegal/objectional material or DAMAGE YOUR COMPUTER!!!

These files are not checked by Alamak in anyway, so you should only click to accept the file if you feel the person presenting the link is trustworthy and you know what you are doing!

WE REPEAT!!! Alamak is not in any way responsible for files uploaded or recieved through Alamak, and these files may contain viruses or material objectional or inappropriate for some users. Sometimes in the past regulars users even sent illegal materials though the file upload. We have now limited this problem by only allowing regular users who get authorization from Alamak Operators and Operators themselves to upload and by flushing the blackbox frequently.

Although we are not responsible for the content of files, you can report offensive files using the Contact Us Page and we'll have them removed at first opportunity.
