Log Message:
scfg: say what %f, %s and %g mean in a transfer-protocol command line
The File Transfer Protocols help named the four command lines a protocol
can have but never said what the specifiers substituted into them expand
to, so nothing told a sysop how the batch forms differ from the
single-file ones.
Spell out all three, and in particular that a batch download offers a
choice: %f is a list-file holding one full path per line, while %s
expands to every one of those paths on the command line itself. The
latter is the trap -- cmdstr() truncates the expanded command line at 511 characters, the size of its output buffer on every platform, so %s
silently drops files from a large batch. The stock entries all use the list-file form, @%f.
