Online Help/Tutorial

Does anyone know where I can find a tutorial or some help on running an online league. There are some specifics about the files, specifically, does each of the players *except for the commish* have to download the entire league directory after the playing of games, or can you just use the import/export function of the teams to get the updated files after an export?

Each owner does have to ‘recreate’ the whole league folder within their copy of the game. Commissioners can (and should) take steps to limit the size of the zip file they post online to provide the necessary game files for their owners, but solely exchanging team files is only an option in one direction: from the owners to the Commish. What the Commish gives back has to include all the various necessary files.

Ok, that is what I figured. Between two people on high speed, wont be too much of a problem. Thanks.

Yeah . . . only the commish can use the import from FTP functions, everyone else is export only.

A good way to limit file size starts with knowing that it's only really the .dat files that HAVE to be included in the zip file you upload to a website for your owners to download.

Are you saying my zip files are too big?

No . . . they're perfect . . . I have to say it probably helps that I have cable modem and the host sites are super quick though!
