# File Request Editor

File Request Editor is a window invoked from Tool / Edit File Request. This window has a string grid with two columns "File" and "Password".

Values of "File" column are file names or aliases (also called magic names). When specifying an alias, you need not to know the real name of requested file. For example, FidoNet Nodelist is requestable from most FidoNet nodes as `NODELIST` while the real name of the Nodelist file is changing every week. Another example is the file list of a system, which is often requested using the Alias `FILES`. You may also specify a file mask, if remote mailer (a mailer on a node from which you request files) allows that. If remote mailer is Argus, aliases, file names and file masks (optionally) are allowed. Argus neither transmits nor handles full-path-name file requests. Note that if the value of "File" column has space a character, Argus will transmit to remote mailer space characters replaced to "\20" sequences.

Values of "Password" column are passwords for specified files, not session passwords.
