Obtain an index of the available files.

Syntax

INDEX

Description

The INDEX command returns an index describing the files that the mail server can provide with the SEND command. This description might not give the names of each and every available file; for such information use the DIRECTORY command. The index is, typically, a simple description of some of the available files and, perhaps, a description of each of the top-level directories.

Error messages

%MAILSERV-F-INDNOTAVA, Index for server is presently unavailable 
      

No file index information is currently available. This may or may not be a temporary condition. Try using the DIRECTORY command in the meantime.

%MAILSERV-W-MAXPARM, too many parameters 
      

You supplied a parameter after the INDEX command. The INDEX command does not accept any parameters. Resend the command without any parameters.
