The Simtel.Net collections are periodically published on CD-ROM. If you do not wish to have your package distributed on CD-ROM please do not upload it. you can review our Upload Policy at http://www.simtel.net/uppolicy.html Please review this policy and keep all your uploads within the scope ofthe Simtel.Net collection. There are changes from the old Simtel.Net policies. ( "same name" replacements are Now permissible. You may include vb runtimes. and more.) NO w that you have this upload account with Simtel.Net, you do not need to send any more upload requests for future uploads Just upload directly to us UPLOADING:.. You can upload your files to ftp://uploads.simtel.net. Some browsers expect you to add your username as part of the access: ftp:. //user.name@uploads.simtel.netand then prompt you for your password once there Some (like Netscape) require you to add the path to our incomingarea : Ftp://user.name@UPloads.SIMTEL.NET/Submissions/incoming Most FTP Programs, Including WSFTP WILL Require You to Enter the Hostas Uploads.
simtel.net If you have difficulties, go to the Uploaders Forum for answers and help. (See the end of this message.) Once you have logged in (using the above username and password), you will be automatically moved to the / submissions / incoming directory. Upload BOTH your file and its accompanying PAD .xml (see below) file there. do not create any other folders, do not upload anything else.You can see everyone else's uploads, but you can not "affect" them in any way, only your own And please, lowercase short filenames only.Anything else WILL delay processing This is NOT your web page, NOT your directory This is a shared area:... please treat it with respect We do NOT accept emailed files under. ANY Conditions. Padgen and the Pad .xml file: We Require All Submows To Use Padgen. You can get this program for free from http://www.asp-shareware.org/pad/ you willil also find details on its use. You do not get or use the asp to get or use the padgen program. You will also need to get th E SIMTEL PAD EXTENSION, WHICH Can Befound At this link: http://www.simtel.net/simtelxml.zip unzip The Simtel.htm File and Put in The Padgen Directory. This File Will Create A "Simtel" Tab in The Padgen program that will allow you to enter specific information for Simtel file categories. Read theinstructions. Then select the lowest platform (MS-DOS, Win3, WinXX) in which your program will function, and the most appropriate file category for that platform. Complete One Platform and Category ONLY.
Details on using extensions (and other extensions that are availablefor other shareware sites) can be found at http://www.asp-shareware.org/pad/padextensions.asp When preparing your PAD .xml file, be sure to fill the Author nameand Author email fields. Insure your "official" email address, theone you used to submit your submission application to us, the email address we're sending this very message to, is in at least ONE of theavailable PAD .xml email fields. Insure you fill in the shortdescription and at least one long description. Insure you put theSAME filename you're uploading into one of the Filename_ * fields.Yes, case matters. Yes, the file extension matters. Not every field in the entire PAD .xml file need be completed. See ourUploaders Forum for detailed requirements. Be sure to use the Filename_Previous field if you're replacing one of yourfiles already at Simtel.Net. That will insure file links are reused, oldfiles are removed, and download counts are carried FORWARD. If you are an Agent and plan to upload for other publishers who do nothave upload accounts at Simtel.Net, contact us for special instructionson procedures, correct use of the PAD .xml file, etc. FILENAMES: Simtel.
Net accepts short 8.3 "filename.typ" filenames only. We acceptonly ".zip" or ".exe" file extensions (and of course the companion ".xml" file type). Anything else will be automatically rejected. No .jar, .htm, .. arj, .gz, .sqz, .uue Insure at least ONE of the PAD .xml Filename_ * fields contains the exact filename that you will be uploading to us Use lowercase only for all filenames:.. any uppercase in filenames will delay your upload'sprocessing. filenames in the PAD .xml file must include the file extension. "wombat" is NOT the filename of the "wombat.zip" file you uploaded. "wombat.exe" is NOT the same as " Wombat.zip. "(this happens all the time.) You will need to upload Both Your .Exe / .zip and the company pad .xml file to our incoming Directory. Both Files Must Have The Same Name (IE FileName.zip [ .exe] and filename.xml). We do prefer .zip files, and suggest you include the Pad .xml inside the .zip file so the enduser and other point distribution sites can get your pad .xml fil e. (NO, WEWILL NOT GO INTO YOUR .zip to take out the .xml file for oud.) (no, we will not "go out and get" the file toort your uploaded orphan .xml file point . Upload it.) Understand that the accompanying .xml file is MANDATORY. Our systemcan not process your file, add it to the file system, and catalogit without the information in that .xml file. You MUST download andinclude the Simtel.Net PAD extension Provided by the simtel.htm file.
You MUST include your upload account's email address in one of the .xmlform's email fields or we can not accept your upload. That email address will become part of the file description, will go out in our New UploadDigests, etc. We regret this may make you vulnerable to spammers, butwe simply MUST have that email address. We will remove the files anduser account of any uploader who fails to maintain that email address.Contact us if your email address changes, and we will direct you on how to create a new upload account UPLOAD PROCESSING:.. If you see your files disappear from our incoming area, that meansthey're being processed (that's good) If you see them renamed (with something like ".BAD" or ".NO" or ".SIM" OR ".cat" or ".pub"), That's not good. please go to our uploaders forum for Details (see the end of this message). if you think, you may upload a corrected .xml (AND / OR) PROGRAM FILE) WIXED. OtherWise You'll Eventually Get An Email Message Descr ibing the problem .. and directing you to re-upload everything since we've removed all the problem files. It will take up to 3 days for your file to be processed, and up toanother 36 hours for the file to become "visible" on our web site (and available for downloads from the mirror sites).
