- Since I'm also running telix (ver. 3.20) I'll give it a shot:
-
- start up telix;
-
- type: alt-o (press both the alt and letter o keys at the same time)
- to select the "configure telix" menu;
-
- FIRST:
- select: "Terminal options"
- select: "N Zmodem autodownloads" and set to ON
- press: enter and return to "configure telix" menu;
-
- SECOND:
- select: "Filenames and paths"
- select: "A - Download directory"
- enter: the full path to the directory where you want all your downloaded
- files to go. Mine is "C:\DL"
- press: enter until you return to the "configure telix" menu;
- select: "Write setup to disk"
-
- OK. Now you are ready (almost) to download your files;
-
- Connect to your host computer, i.e., where the files are you want to
- download to your home computer.
-
- To test for the presence of the zmodem protocol, just type
-
- sz
-
- all by itself and press enter. If zmodem is present you will see some
- brief instructions on how to use it. If not, you will get a message
- something like "unknown command", etc.
-
- If zmodem is present, cd to the directory containing the file(s) you
- want to download, and type:
-
- sz <filename>
-
- some specific examples of this are, (assuming I have a file named
- foobar.zip I want):
-
- sz foobar.zip
-
- If I have three (or more or less) files, just type all their filenames or
- use wildcards to indicate them, thus:
-
- sz <filename1> <filename2> <filename3>
-
- or
-
- sz *.zip
-
- or whatever legal wildcard will work.
-
- Zmoded is an automatic download protocal, so it works pretty much
- seamless if you have everything set up correctly.
- This means that after you type "sz filename", zmodem does not require
- any more keystrokes from you.
-
- Good Luck!
