Multiple Servers

Postby duggydugg123 » Fri Jan 10, 2014 8:39 pm

Hello...

Could anyone tell me if it possible to automatically add multiple servers to Newsbin Pro from a list or config file rather than add one at a time by hand ?

Thanks

The configuration is a text file. You could add the servers to the text file. Just pattern it after the existing servers. The configuration files end in .NBI. I'd add at least one server then look at the configuration file to see how it's done. Each server needs a name and address at a minimum.

If you're trying to use a bunch of free servers, I think you'll end up disappointed.

Thanks Quade for the info just what I needed....yeah I know the free servers would be of no use.

Thanks

The password in the file is encrypted no ? is there any way I can enter the password manually ?

It's mime encoded. It's just to prevent people from seeing it over you shoulder if you look at the file.

Worse comes to worse, just keep changing the password on an existing server, hit the save button, then cut and paste it from that server entry.
