In the bottom of your FileToss statement you should have this setup:
; Node-specific options allow some options to be overridden when a file is
    ; coming from a specific node.  These options should be prefixed with the
    ; address, examples for each supported option are listed below in comments

Of course this is from my board so yours would need to be adjusted to fit
you. You should have this for every Network you belong to (and the same for
messages bases)

If you can find a sysop who is willing to give you FTP access to there file
bases OR contact the IFDC Filegate http://www.filegate.net (Janis Kracht) to
see if you can get FTP access to "fill" your file areas.
