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. -- David W.
