- Sethost has a text upload/download feature with CTRL-F1 and Shift-F1.
- To send a text file, prepare Ultrix to receive a file by typing:
-
- cat > foo.text
-
- Then transmit the file with Shift-F1 (you will be prompted for a DOS
- pathname). To transmit binary files this way, you must first
- uuencode them.
-
- To retrieve text file from Ultrix to the PC, start the Receive File
- feature with CTRL-F1 and then just cat out the file on Ultrix. When
- the transmission is done, toggle the CTRL-F1 off. You may need to
- edit out a gratuitous shell prompt at the beginning or end of a file
- transmitted this way.
