File transfer modes

File transfer modes.

These control the direction and type of a file to be transferred. Please note that they are NOT to be ORred together. Although they don't look that way, they are mutually exclusive: FXM_TRANSIENT implies a download.

FXM_UPLOAD

The user will upload a file to the BBS.

FXM_DOWNLOAD

The user will download a file from the BBS. The file is considered permanent. It will be there (at least) until the user's exit from the system.

FXM_TRANSIENT

The user will download a temporary file from the BBS. Transient files are built by a module and are deleted at some undefined time before the user's exit from the system. As such, their download cannot be postponed until later.
