- I have been trying to transfer files between two computers using
- Procomm Plus, and have been thwarted. I have to call from one
- computer to the other for both sending and receiving of files.
- (The goal is to swap the files back and forth as updates occur- it's
- not often enough to warrant a network.) To do this, in the sending case,
- I basically tell the remote computer to switch directories, receive files,
- switch dirs again and receive files again. In the receiving case I do the
- same algorithm by executing a remote script. However, it is messed up by
- the behavior of zmodem, which recognizes incoming files, and then doesn't
- do any actual downloading. Here are the scripts:
-
- Sending files:
-
- proc main
- dial "10"
- transmit "^DSET DLDIR `"C:\BARROW`"^M"
- SENDFILE ZMODEM "C:\BARROW\*.*"
- transmit "^DSET DLDIR `"C:\BARROW\DATA`"^M"
- SENDFILE ZMODEM "C:\BARROW\DATA\*.*"
- endproc
-
- Receiving files:
-
- proc main
- dial "10"
- transmit "^Dexecute `"rf.asx`"^M"
- endproc
-
- and, on the remote compter, rf.asp:
-
- proc main
- transmit "^DSET DLDIR `"C:\BARROW`"^M"
- SENDFILE ZMODEM "C:\BARROW\*.*"
- transmit "^DSET DLDIR `"C:\BARROW\DATA`"^M"
- SENDFILE ZMODEM "C:\BARROW\DATA\*.*"
- endproc
-
- Oh- and there is not a problem becuase of zmodem's file overwriting
- protection. I move the files to another directory before I start this,
- so the two directories are empty.
-
- Any help is VERY appreciated.
