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.
