The SEND command sends the requested files back to you via electronic mail. Wild cards can be used in the file-spec parameter to specify multiple files. Each file is sent as a separate message. The optional extension parameter is supplied for compatibility with BITNET's LISTSERV file servers. When supplied, a period followed by the value of this parameter will be appended to the value of the file-spec parameter to form the actual file name to use. For instance, the command SEND NEWTAGS DESCRIPT is interpreted as a request for the file NEWTAGS.DESCRIPT and is equivalent to the command SEND NEWTAGS.DESCRIPT Large files can automatically be split into multiple smaller files prior to transmission; see the description of the MAXIMUM command for specific details. When the MAXIMUM command is used, it must be specified prior to the SEND command; e.g., MAXIMUM BYTES 10000 MAXIMUM LINES 1000 SEND [BOOK]CHAPTER*.TXT Files can be read in a variety of ways; this can be controlled with the MODE command or the /MODE qualifier. Files containing non-text information must be encoded in some way; the ENCODING command or the /ENCODING qualifier control the encoding used. When using the MODE and ENCODING commands, be sure to specify them before the SEND command requiring their use. Use the DIRECTORY and INDEX commands to obtain information on available files which can be obtained with the SEND command.
