Here is a step-by-step guide on downloading files from a file server:
  1. The first step is to type !list in the channel window. This will result in showing advertisements of available file servers as seen below.
  2. In each ad you will notice a "Trigger". Type in (or just highlight) the part with /ctcp. "/ctcp randy !pr" is an example. Note: When you highlight, it will auto-copy, do not use Ctrl+C!
  3. A new chat window will open similar to what is shown below
  4. Type dir. This will reveal all directories and files as seen below
  5. To go into a directory, simply type cd ; Example from above, cd POWER RANGERS.
  6. Whenever you change directories, type dir so that you can see the list of directories and files in each directory
  7. Once you see a file you want, simply type get . Example: get PRRPM.S17E12.Blitz-[T3][96BB0D36].avi
  8. One of three things will happen after step 7: The file will begin downloading right away, your request will be put in a queue (like waiting in line), or you will be notified all queues and sends are full.
  9. Remain inside the channel when downloading, or your sends and queues will be cancelled.

Commands to use when you are past step 4 above:
help: gives a list of the commands usable at the fserv
dir or ls: lists the files and directiories. Directories are displayed in capital letters on most cases, while files have some extension.
cd: changes to a directory ("cd directory". You can get back to the main directory by using "cd..")
get: queues a file for download (e.g. "get example.txt"). Don't include the file size in the command line
sends: displays information about on-going sends
*Note: some servers may have this and queues hidden. repeating the command isn't going to help in that case
queues: information on queues. Also shows where your queue is in the list.
clr_queues: removes your queue from the list
clr_failqueues: removes your failqueues
*Note: failqueues are present on servers that support them. They're used for resending failed sends and giving priority queues to other people
