• File echoes as passthru?

    From Mike Powell@1:103/705 to ALL on Fri Dec 20 09:02:00 2024
    With a message echo, you can set those as passthru and the message is not stored on your system.

    With a file echo, doesn't the file have to be stored *somewhere* in order
    for the subscribing nodes to pick it up and, once every node that is
    subscribed has picked it up, doesn't it still just sit on your system?

    A network I am in has added a file echo that could contain large files that
    I don't want to keep beyond the point where any downlinks have picked the
    file up, but I am not certain there is a way to automate such a process.

    I know if the files exist in that nodes outbox, they get deleted, but I am pretty sure that is not how file echo attaches work (i.e. they are not
    stored in the outboxes of individual nodes).

    Thanks.
