I feel your pain brother. I will add support for "-future 0" in the next version of PutFiles. As I tried to make clear in my previous message, I just *copied* the command line interface of Freenet.client.InsertClient (which I think has since changed). > I first mentioned my problems with PutFiles about a month ago, maybe a > bit more.

I will look this over.

The "-update yes" option is in the PutFiles source code. I work on this in my free time which has been more limited lately than I would like. I will release an updated version of the manifest tools by the end of next week. Hopefully much sooner. issues to be addressed: 0) dependancy checking so you don't have to reinsert already inserted files. (By the way, I'm not sure how good an idea this is since files seem to die out of freenet really quickly. But people have asked for it so I will put it in.) 1) no more insertion of bb_tmp files by accident. 2) no more insertion of random seed file by accident. 3) -future 0 I was hoping that someone would 'fess up to authoring the "how not to publish document". It is really well done.
