Cancel File Transfer ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ Cancel this dialog and return to the terminal emulation display. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5. Send ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ When all fields are correct, choose Send to start the file transfer. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6. Receive ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ When all fields are correct, choose Receive to start the file transfer. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7. File Transfer Name ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ The displayed name defaults to the profile linked to this Session. The drop-down list box shows the names of any other existing File Transfer Profiles. Select the Profile you want to use for this operation. Note: If a File Transfer Profile has not been linked to this session, this field defaults to the first File Transfer Profile found in the data base file. To examine or change the protocol-specific options or the File Transfer Edit Options, choose Change. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8. PC File Name ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ If you know the name of the file you want to send and it is located in the current directory, or in another directory whose path name you know, type the path (if required) and name. If you do not know the exact path and filename, use the Drive, Files and Directory options to locate and select the file you wish to transfer. Once selected, the file name and path will appear in this field. Note: If you are connected to a Unix host, file names are case-sensitive. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9. Drive ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ If you do not know the exact path and filename, use the Drive, Files and Directory options to locate and select the file you wish to transfer. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 10. Directory ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ If you do not know the exact path and filename, use the Drive, Files and Directory options to locate and select the file you wish to transfer. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 11. Files ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ If you do not know the exact path and filename, use the Drive, Files and Directory options to locate and select the file you wish to transfer. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 12. Host File Name ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ You can rename a file as it is transferred. If a different name is not provided, the file will have the same name at its destination. Note: If you are connected to a Unix host, file names are case-sensitive. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13. Transmit to Host ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ This field is optional. A string of up to 35 characters may be entered to be transmitted to the remote system when the SEND command is processed. This string could be used as a command to the remote computer system to prepare to receive data. For additional information, choose this topic: Host Command for Send ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 14. Change ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ To examine or change the protocol-specific options or the File Transfer Edit Options, choose Change. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 15. File Transfer Name ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ The displayed name defaults to the profile linked to this Session. The drop-down list box shows the names of any other existing File Transfer Profiles. Select the Profile you want to use for this operation. Note: If a File Transfer Profile has not been linked to this session, this field defaults to the first File Transfer Profile found in the data base file. To examine or change the protocol-specific options or the File Transfer Edit Options, choose Change. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 16. Host File Name ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ Type the name of the file you want to receive. Note: If you are connected to a Unix host, file names are case-sensitive. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 17. Drive ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ If necessary, select the drive to which to write the data. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 18. Directory ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ If necessary, select the directory to which to write the data. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 19. If File Exists ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ If a file with the name you have assigned already exists on your PC, you can specify that you want the received file to Replace the existing file; Append to the end of the existing file; or Stop transfer. Stop is the default value. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 20. PC File Name ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ If you want the file to have a different name on your PC, type the new name here. If you leave this field blank, the file will have the same name as that specified in the Receive File Name field. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 21. Transmit to Host ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ This field is optional. A string of up to 35 characters may be entered to be transmitted to the remote system when the RECEIVE command is processed. This string could be used as a command to the remote computer system to prepare to transmit data. For additional information, choose this topic: Host Command for Receive ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 22. Change ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ To examine or change the protocol-specific options or the File Transfer Edit Options, choose Change. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 23. Help for Send Transfer Status ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ The Status window shows several parameters, such as the Session name; the File Transfer Profile name; the PC file name; the Host file name; and the Status of the operation. The Status includes the number of errors (if any) and the number of characters sent. To stop the file transfer operation, choose Stop Transfer. To perform another task while the transfer is in progress, use any of the task switching mechanisms supported by the operating system. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 24. Help for Receive Transfer Status ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ The Status window shows several parameters, such as the Session name; the File Transfer Profile name; the PC file name; the Host file name; and the Status of the operation. The Status includes the number of errors (if any) and the number of characters received. To stop the file transfer operation, choose Stop Transfer. To perform another task while the transfer is in progress, use any of the task switching mechanisms supported by the operating system. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 25. Stop Transfer ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ Stop the transfer and return to the emulation screen. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 26. High Bit ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ The High Bit of each character in the source file may be Set, Cleared or left at No Change. In most cases, you would leave this option set to No Change to leave the High Bit unaffected. Application: If you transferred a text file from an Apple computer to a PC, you would want to Clear the high bit to obtain standard text rather than graphics characters. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 27. End of Line ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ End of Line lets you choose what line terminator is to be used for the destination when transferring text files. The line terminators may be: o No Change (no end of line modifications) o Carriage Return o Line Feed o Carriage Return/Line Feed ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 28. Hex Dump ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ Hex Dump, if checked, will cause the source file to be converted to a displayable hexadecimal dump format. Each line will display the 8-character hexadecimal address of the position in the file followed by a colon, 16 data characters from the source file in hexadecimal format, and the ASCII equivalent displayable characters. Non-displayable character codes will be shown as a period. This option is extremely useful in debugging communications problems when interacting with a host computer system. Important: If the Hex Dump option is checked, all other editing options except for the High Bit option, and the End of Line option when the transfer is to a printer, are ignored. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 29. Pad Blank Lines ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ Some host systems throw away any blank lines; that is, lines consisting only of a line terminator character, such as a Carriage Return + Line Feed used to double-space between paragraphs of a document. To have the document retain its format when it is transferred to the host, check the Pad Blank Lines option. This will substitute a space plus the line terminator for any line containing only a line terminator. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 30. Space Compress ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ Space Compress, if checked, will cause any sequence of multiple space characters to be changed to a single space character as the source file is transferred to the destination. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 31. Translate Characters ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ Translate is used to convert characters or ranges of characters to other characters or strings of characters. This option is useful if a file contains unwanted formatting characters which must be converted before the data can be processed. Application: Some word processors use non-standard control sequences for format control. If you know what these codes are, you can translate them to the codes used by your word processing program. The Translate string entry field may contain multiple arguments which may be optionally separated by spaces or commas (,), or ranges separated by a hyphen (-). Arguments in the Translate field must be specified in pairs so that both a from and a to argument are included for each translate entry in the field. Character arguments and ranges may be specified in either ASCII or hexadecimal characters in the range $00-$7F. A hexadecimal character is indicated by a $ followed by 2 digits in the range 0-9 or A-F. The backslash character (\) is used to indicate that the next character has no special interpretation. It may be used with a space, comma, hyphen, dollar sign, and backslash to allow these characters to be used in arguments. The following are examples of valid arguments in the Translate edit option field: Argument Function A Single ASCII Character $41 Single Hexadecimal Character a-z ASCII Character Range $61-$7A Hexadecimal Character Range \, Comma as Argument The following are examples of valid specifications for Translate: a-z,A-Z $7F,$20 (,[ ),] This string, if used in the Translate edit option field, will convert lowercase to uppercase and convert all DEL ($7F) characters to a space ($20), and will convert parenthesis ( ) to square brackets [ ]. Arguments in the Translate field must be specified in pairs. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 32. Remove Characters ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ Remove is used to remove selected characters and ranges of characters from the source file as the file is written to the destination. This option is useful if a file contains unwanted formatting characters which must be removed before the data can be processed. Application: Some word processors use non-standard control sequences for format control. If you know what these codes are, you can remove them to get a destination file that is readable. The Remove string entry field may contain multiple arguments which may be optionally separated by spaces or commas (,), or ranges separated by a hyphen (-). Character arguments and ranges may be specified in either ASCII or hexadecimal characters in the range $00-$7F. A hexadecimal character is indicated by a $ followed by 2 digits in the range 0-9 or A-F. The backslash character (\) is used to indicate that the next character has no special interpretation. It may be used with a space, comma, hyphen, dollar sign, and backslash to allow these characters to be used in arguments. The following are examples of valid arguments in the Remove edit option field: Argument Function A Single ASCII Character $41 Single Hexadecimal Character a-z ASCII Character Range $61-$7A Hexadecimal Character Range \, Comma as Argument The following is an example of a valid specification for Remove: $00-$08 $0B $0E-$1F This string, if used in the Remove edit option field, will remove control characters except for HT ($09), LF ($0A), FF ($0C), and CR ($0D). ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 33. Tab Length ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ This option accepts values in the range 0-9 and defaults to 0, which disables this option. This option will substitute an appropriate number of spaces for tab characters in the source file. Application: If you downloaded a file that you knew was written with tab stops set every 8 columns, and you wanted it to retain its format for your text editor, you could change the default 0 to 8 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 34. Retries ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ Specify the maximum retry count for error conditions. Possible error conditions include timeouts and block check errors. If an error condition occurs during a file transfer operation and the Retries count is exhausted, a Line Failure message will be displayed on your screen. This parameter accepts values from 0 to 255. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 35. Receive Acknowledgment Timeout ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ This parameter sets the number of seconds before a transfer operation will cancel when an acknowledgement for data transmitted to the host is expected to be received. Valid values are from 0 to 65535. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 36. Send Character Transmission Delay ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ Note: This also is called Transmit Delay. Character Transmission Delay is specified in milliseconds of delay between characters, from 0 through 255. Many host computers expect to receive data at manual typing speed. When Softerm transmits a file of data, the interval between characters is much shorter than when they are typed, and the host computer may be unable to keep up with the transmission rate. As a result, data may be lost or garbled. This parameter introduces an inter-character delay to reduce the host processing load. If the data received by the host is incomplete or consistently incorrect, increasing the inter-character delay may improve the situation. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 37. Retries ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ Specify the maximum retry count for error conditions. Possible error conditions include timeouts and block check errors. If an error condition occurs during a file transfer operation and the Retries count is exhausted, a Line Failure message will be displayed on your screen. This parameter accepts values from 0 to 255. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 38. Host Command for Send ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ A string of up to 35 characters may be entered to be transmitted to the remote system when the Send command is processed. This string could be used as a command to the remote computer system to prepare to receive data, and might resemble: ACCEPT filename [CR] kermit -r filename [CR] XRCV filename [CR] The first 32 ASCII characters (0 through 31) also are control codes which can be included by using the appropriate acronym enclosed in square brackets ([ ]). These are listed in the ASCII column in ASCII Character Codes (If you need to send a '[' or ']', precede it with a tilde '~'.) For example: Acronym Decimal Value Name [NUL] 0 Null character [CR] 13 Carriage Return [ESC] 27 Escape [US] 31 Unit Separator The string is transmitted exactly as entered and must include any terminator characters, such as a carriage return, required by the remote computer. The string is transmitted at 5 characters per second to allow for systems which expect commands to be entered at normal keyboard entry speeds. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 39. Receive Data Timeout ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ This parameter sets the number of seconds before a transfer operation will cancel when data is expected to be received. Valid values are from 0 to 65535. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 40. Receive Character Transmission Delay ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ Note: This also is called Transmit Delay. Character Transmission Delay is specified in milliseconds of delay between characters, from 0 through 255. Many host computers expect to receive data at manual typing speed. When Softerm transmits a file of data, the interval between characters is much shorter than when they are typed, and the host computer may be unable to keep up with the transmission rate. As a result, data may be lost or garbled. This parameter introduces an inter-character delay to reduce the host processing load. If the data received by the host is incomplete or consistently incorrect, increasing the inter-character delay may improve the situation. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 41. Retries ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ Specify the maximum retry count for error conditions. Possible error conditions include timeouts and block check errors. If an error condition occurs during a file transfer operation and the Retries count is exhausted, a Line Failure message will be displayed on your screen. This parameter accepts values from 0 to 255. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 42. Host Command for Receive ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ A string of up to 35 characters may be entered to be transmitted to the remote system when the Receive command is processed. When used with Receive, this string could be used as a command to the remote computer system to prepare to transmit data, and might resemble: TYPE filename [CR] kermit -s filename [CR] YSEND filename [CR] The first 32 ASCII characters (0 through 31) also are control codes which can be included by using the appropriate acronym enclosed in square brackets ([ ]). These are listed in the ASCII column in ASCII Character Codes (If you need to send a '[' or ']', precede it with a tilde '~'.) For example: Acronym Decimal Value Name [NUL] 0 Null character [CR] 13 Carriage Return [ESC] 27 Escape [US] 31 Unit Separator The string is transmitted exactly as entered and must include any terminator characters, such as a carriage return, required by the remote computer. The string is transmitted at 5 characters per second to allow for systems which expect commands to be entered at normal keyboard entry speeds. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 43. Help for Character Protocol Send Settings ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ Note: Help is available for each field and push button. Press F1 when the field or push button is selected. This dialog lets you set and change protocol-specific options which will be in effect whenever you use this File Transfer Profile to send a file to the host system. These settings can be changed "on-the-fly" before you start the file transfer from the Session Window's File menu. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 44. Character Protocol Receive Settings ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ Note: Help is available for each field and push button. Press F1 when the field or push button is selected. This dialog lets you set and change protocol-specific options which will be in effect whenever you use this File Transfer Profile to receive a file from the host system. These settings can be changed "on-the-fly" before you start the file transfer from the Session Window's File menu. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 45. End of Block String ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ Specify an up to 4-character block termination string. In character mode, a block is usually considered to be a line of text, whose terminator is a carriage return, a linefeed or a carriage return/linefeed combination. However, the string may be composed of any characters that comprise the end of a logical block of data. Note: Specifying a string here enables the Acknowledge and End of Block Delay features. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 46. End of Block Delay ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ End of Block Delay is specified in tenths of seconds, from 0 through 255. If no Host Acknowledge string is available, this option, together with the End of Block (EOB) field, can be used to implement a time delay flow control. After each block of characters is transmitted, Softerm pauses for the period of time indicated by this field before continuing transmission with the next block of characters. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 47. Block Size ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ The Block Size accepts values in the range 0 to 255 and specifies the maximum number of characters to be transmitted before waiting for a specified Acknowledge string. When the number of characters specified by the Block Size has been transmitted without encountering an End of Block terminator, the End of Block terminator (if it has been specified) will be transmitted and Softerm will wait for the optional Acknowledge string to be received. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 48. Acknowledgement String ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ This 4-character string field specifies the host computer response to each block transmitted. It should be set to whatever character string the host sends when it is ready to receive a block of characters. Together with the End of Block field, this field is used to implement a prompting flow control. After each block of characters is transmitted, Softerm will wait for this string to be received before sending the next block. If either of the Acknowledge or End of Block fields are left blank, Softerm does not wait for a host response. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 49. Termination String ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ This 35-character string field is used to specify the string which, when sent, indicates to the host system that data transmission is complete. After receiving this string, the host system stops its receive operation, the file is closed, and Softerm returns to Online operation. If there is no unique string which the host recognizes as the end of the data, leave this field blank. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 50. Echo Wait Enabled ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ This option allows the echo back of each transmitted character to Acknowledge the character transmitted. If checked, the program waits after each character is transmitted until the same character is received. All other characters are ignored. If the required character is not received within the specified Timeout period, the transfer is canceled. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 51. When Received ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ Note: The When Received string is used with the Reply With string. When Received is a 10-character string field that specifies the prompting message which is sent by the host. Reply With specifies a string to send in reply. Some host computers page their output, sending only enough data to fit on a single screen, and then send a message to indicate the presence or absence of more data. When a character is sent to the host, it responds with another page of data, if it exists. The When Received and Reply With fields are used in this situation to acknowledge each screen of data and prompt for the next screen. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 52. Reply With ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ Note: The Reply With string is used with the When Received string. Reply With is a 10-character string field that specifies a string to send in reply to the When Received string. Some host computers page their output, sending only enough data to fit on a single screen, and then send a message to indicate the presence or absence of more data. When a character is sent to the host, it responds with another page of data, if it exists. The When Received and Reply With fields are used in this situation to acknowledge each screen of data and prompt for the next screen. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 53. Terminate On String ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ This 35-character string field is used to specify the string which, when received, indicates that data reception is complete. After receiving this string, the receive operation terminates, the receive file is closed, and Softerm returns to Online operation. If there is no unique string which signals the end of the data, leave this field blank. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 54. Kermit Send Settings ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ Note: Help is available for each field and push button. Press F1 when the field or push button is selected. This dialog lets you set and change protocol-specific options which will be in effect whenever you use this File Transfer Profile to send a file to the host system. These settings can be changed "on-the-fly" before you start the file transfer from the Session Window's File menu. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 55. Kermit Receive Settings ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ Note: Help is available for each field and push button. Press F1 when the field or push button is selected. This dialog lets you set and change protocol-specific options which will be in effect whenever you use this File Transfer Profile to receive a file from the host system. These settings can be changed "on-the-fly" before you start the file transfer from the Session Window's File menu. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 56. Kermit Protocol Settings ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ Note: Help is available for each field and push button. Press F1 when the field or push button is selected. These settings are applicable to any file transfer operation using the Kermit Protocol. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 57. Kermit Server Send Settings ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ This dialog lets you set and change protocol-specific options which will be in effect whenever you use this File Transfer Profile to send a file to the host system. These settings can be changed "on-the-fly" before you start the file transfer from the Session Window's File menu. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 58. Kermit Server Receive Settings ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ This dialog lets you set and change protocol-specific options which will be in effect whenever you use this File Transfer Profile to receive a file from the host system. These settings can be changed "on-the-fly" before you start the file transfer from the Session Window's File menu. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 59. Kermit Server Protocol Settings ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ These settings are applicable to any file transfer operation using the Kermit Server Protocol. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 60. Start of Message Character ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ This parameter sometimes is called the Start-Of-Header (SOH) character. This parameter accepts values from [NUL] through [RUB]. The default Start of Message character is [SOH], which is 01 Hex. Note: Use the text string displayed in the ASCII column of ASCII Character Codes. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 61. Leading Pad Count ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ You may specify the number of padding characters to precede each packet. Padding may be necessary when sending to a half duplex system that requires some time to change the direction of transmission. Note: In general practice, this situation is more commonly handled by a "handshake" mechanism. This parameter accepts values from 0 through 255. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 62. Leading Pad Character ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ Note: If the Leading Pad Count parameter is 0 (zero), this parameter will be ignored. If the Leading Pad Count parameter is not 0 (zero), this parameter can be set to the control character to be used for padding. In most systems, this character is [NUL] (0 Hex), although some systems use [RUB] (7F Hex). This parameter accepts values from [NUL] through [RUB]. Note: Use the text string displayed in the ASCII column of ASCII Character Codes. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 63. Trailing Pad Character ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ This sometimes is called the End-Of-Line character. It is the character which causes the host to accept a line of data. This parameter defaults to [CR] (0D Hex) because most systems that require a line terminator for terminal input accept the carriage return character for this purpose. This parameter accepts values from [NUL] through [RUB]. Note: Use the text string displayed in the ASCII column of ASCII Character Codes. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 64. Repeat Quoting Character ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ This option lets you change the default repeat sequence introducer character. The default introducer character is a tilde (~). The Kermit protocol allows the sender and receiver to exchange packets during initialization to agree upon the capabilities to be used during the data transfer phase. In the case of repeat quoting (data compression), the file sender specifies the character to be used as a repeat sequence introducer and the receiver either agrees or disagrees. If the character specified by the sender is not acceptable to the receiver, repeat quoting will not be done. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 65. Force 8-Bit Quoting ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ Quoting (also called Prefixing) is a term used by Kermit to indicate that 8-bit data is transmitted as two 7-bit characters. For instance, the standard ASCII characters are 7-bit data, while many non-printing characters, such as those forming binary executable files, use 8-bit data. 8-bit data is encoded into two 7-bit characters at the sending end, and decoded back to one 8-bit character at the receiving end. This option is provided for use in network environments where intermediate equipment does not pass on the most significant bit (that is, it does not pass 8-bit characters along in an unmodified form). If this parameter is checked, encoding of data greater than 07F hex is to be forced. If this parameter is not checked, the Kermit protocol initial packet exchange will determine whether encoding of 8-bit data is to be performed. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 66. Send Kermit Finish Packet ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ When checked, this option will cause a Kermit finish packet to be transmitted at the end of a transmit/receive file(s) operation to cause the remote kermit server program to terminate (if it supports this packet type). ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 67. Softrans Protocol Send Settings ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ Note: Help is available for each field and push button. Press F1 when the field or push button is selected. This dialog lets you set and change protocol-specific options which will be in effect whenever you use this File Transfer Profile to send a file to the host system. These settings can be changed "on-the-fly" before you start the file transfer from the Session Window's File menu. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 68. Softrans Protocol Receive Settings ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ Note: Help is available for each field and push button. Press F1 when the field or push button is selected. This dialog lets you set and change protocol-specific options which will be in effect whenever you use this File Transfer Profile to receive a file from the host system. These settings can be changed "on-the-fly" before you start the file transfer from the Session Window's File menu. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 69. End of Message Character ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ Specify the character which is used to terminate input at the remote system. It is designed primarily for host systems which work on a line input basis. This parameter defaults to [CR] (carriage return). Note: Use the text string displayed in the ASCII column of ASCII Character Codes. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 70. Transmit Buffer Size ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ This parameters accepts values from 64 through 255 and defaults to 128. It specifies the size, in bytes, of the buffer the Softrans file transfer protocol builds and sends to the host system. If your host can accept more data at a time, set this to a higher value. If your host cannot accept 128 bytes at a time, set this to a lower value. Check with your system administrator. Note: When receiving data to your PC, Softrans can accept whatever is sent by the host. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 71. Xmodem Send Settings ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ Note: Help is available for each field and push button. Press F1 when the field or push button is selected. This dialog lets you set and change protocol-specific options which will be in effect whenever you use this File Transfer Profile to send a file to the host system. These settings can be changed "on-the-fly" before you start the file transfer from the Session Window's File menu. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 72. Xmodem Receive Settings ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ This dialog lets you set and change protocol-specific options which will be in effect whenever you use this File Transfer Profile to receive a file from the host system.
