- ===== Function Help - [U]pload A File ===============================
-
- The filing subsystem permits you to move files between your
- system and the board. Uploading refers to you sending this board
- a file.
-
- The transfer of data can either be done in ASCII or by using one of
- the two Xmodem protocols. The Xmodem protocol(s) provides a means
- of checking the data transmitted for integrity - whereas the ASCII
- transfer method does not.
-
- File uploading to the board is very similar to downloading.
-
- Uploading of ASCII files can be done without interruption between
- lines. This system can handle data uploading at 1200 baud without
- any problem. If the system falls behind during a file upload, it will
- send an XOFF [Ctrl-S] to your system. If your system supports
- XON/OFF file transfer speed-matching, data transmission will be
- suspended until an XON [Ctrl-Q] is sent to you, indicating
- RBBS-PC is ready to accept data again.
-
- If this system runs out of disk space during an upload function,
- it will issue a cancel request. This will be in the form of a
- data stream of one or more ASCII CAN [Ctrl-X] characters. Your
- system will abort transmission if it supports XON/OFF file
- transfer speed-matching protocol. If your system does not support
- XON/OFF, the data overflow will be lost and the board will
- recycle, dropping you off line.
