You didn't say what type of connection you were attempting this
across, but I have seen the identical behavior on various 4.[23]bsd
machines, and have traced the problem here to running the zmodem
protocol over telnet connections with bugs in binary modes.  The
<transfer cancelled by receiver> invariably means that there was a bad
checksum which caused the packet(s) to be retransmitted the maximum
number of times without success.  The same transfer works fine over a
direct dialin line.

What's interesting to me is the fact that I can send files from the
Unix machine to my ST, but not vice-versa.  The network connection
is capable of transferring 8-bit data and control characters in one
direction, but not the other.  If I use "rlogin <host> -8 -L" to make
the same connection, then the transfer will work in either direction.

I'm pretty certain the fault is with a Bridge CS/100 TCP connection
to our 4.[23] machines.  Connecting from one Bridge to another one
works fine.

Anyway, this may not be the cause of your problem, but likely it
is a similar problem (corrupted data and/or checksum).  Good luck.
