I have been using the gui to do my dropboxes. If I set one up via command line, will it show in the GUI? I would totally forget about it if I didn't have a place to check. plus how do you change a dropbox setup by command line? > It is possible to put files in the dropbox and have them carted with a > start date and end date based on 'today' the day you put them in the > dropbox.

Initially I had setup amb-ux and it dumped 5 days worth of each program. Does anyone use amb-ux to transfer files from an AMR-100? based on my initial post that answer is NO, as I got NO replies....oh well...there also NO documentation on it.....
