- DWXFER allows you to send and receive files from a drop to dos easily.
- On the Host end, DWXFER.EXE must be in the path. To start a transfer,
- enter DWXFER REMOTE on the remote end, while the host is in DOS. DWXFER
- will then load DWXFER on the HOST side. Using the cursor keys, insert,
- and delete, fill in the fields for the filename to transfer, and the
- paths (if required) on the host and remote end. Then select the direction
- with a ALT D. To start the transfer, enter a ALT S. DWXFER will not
- overwrite an existing file without asking if it is ok to do so.
-
- To abort a transfer enter ^K's. To terminate a session enter ESC. If you
- manage to get the ends out of sync, enter ^K's or if you have returned
- to the terminal program and the HOST is still in DWXFER enter ^K's and ESC's.
-
- If you are running com2 then you will need to use DWXFER REMOTE 2 to
- bring up the program.
-
- The simplest way to set this up is to put DWXFER into the directory your
- com program is in. Then set up an external protocol which simply does a
- DWXFER REMOTE in the batch file. Then to transfer data in DOS simply
- shell the protocol.
-
- This version has a bug fixed where it would report a "filename not same"
- error. If this occurs, then it means that the filename on the host and
- remote ends are not the same, possibly line noise ended up on one end or
- the other. If this happens, delete the filename with the backspace or del
- key, and continue deleting after the filename is gone for several more
- times, to make sure any garbage on the other end is gone. This should not
- ever happen, as there is error checking between the two.
