What error did you get?

It (kinda) is - but no, you cannot use a wildcard (to get everything).

So with hpt, you can send a message of %HELP to filefix, and you'll get instructions on how to "resend" a file.

What I need to do (but havent got around to it, nor has there been any requirement) is post to the bot echo the new files on the hub. I should also enable a %FREQ that sends you a file list for all areas - then you can use the %RESEND command to resend what you want.
