Trouble with a file containing multiple URL's

Post by Thunderstone »



I've created a url.doc file in MS Word containing 12 url's. I then FTPed
that file to my Webinator folder at my Hosting service. When I try the
command:

gw -D1 "&url.doc" I get an error saying &url.doc: Disallowed protocol

Each Url has its own line with no preceding quotes and they are full
descriptions like http://www.abc.com/service.htm What have I done wrong?

Thanks in Advance.

You can't use a DOC file for the url list. It must be plain ascii.

Make sure the list file is in the current directory when you execute
that command. Or give gw the full path to the list file if it's not
in the current directory.

Also, if you're running gw on NT, you don't need the "'s
gw -D1 &url.doc
