I spent a long time to find how to post on newsgroup with Linux in console mode only.
\nHere is the solution !<\/p>\n

Download and compile newspost<\/h2>\n

Newspost<\/a> is a program to post on the newsgroup. I’m on Debian but this package doesn’t exist anymore. However you can download the source and compile them… except there are few errors with the original sources (at least on my box). The issue is the source uses a function called “getfile”, however this function name is already used in something else and it causes a conflict.
\nSo I’ve renamed the function and it now works.<\/p>\n

Download newspost-2.1.1.orig.tar.gz<\/a><\/p>\n

Extract the files, then use make && make install<\/code><\/p>\n

Install par2 and rar<\/h2>\n

On a Debian you’ll do apt-get install par2 rar<\/code><\/p>\n

Let’s go<\/h2>\n

The first step is to split your file into small ones with rar extension :
\nrar a \"name of rar file\" -v20m -m0 \"\/home\/example\/your file\"<\/code><\/p>\n

Here are some explanations regarding this command :<\/p>\n
