DWM>I have been trying to transfer files between two computers using DWM>Procomm Plus, and have been thwarted. I have to call from one DWM>computer to the other for both sending and receiving of files. DWM>(The goal is to swap the files back and forth as updates occur- it's DWM>not often enough to warrant a network.) To do this, in the sending case, DWM>I basically tell the remote computer to switch directories, receive files, DWM>switch dirs again and receive files again. In the receiving case I do the DWM>same algorithm by executing a remote script. However, it is messed up by DWM>the behavior of zmodem, which recognizes incoming files, and then doesn't DWM>do any actual downloading. Here are the scripts: DWM>Sending files: DWM>SENDFILE ZMODEM "C:\BARROW\*.*" DWM>SENDFILE ZMODEM "C:\BARROW\DATA\*.*" DWM>SENDFILE ZMODEM "C:\BARROW\DATA\*.*" To use ZMODEM with ProCOMM do not use SENDFILE. For an upload, the command line should read: DOS "ZMODEMU C:\BARROW\DATA\*.*" For a download, the line should read: DOS "ZMODEMD C:\BARROW\DATA\*.*" DWM>Oh- and there is not a problem becuase of zmodem's file overwriting DWM>protection. I move the files to another directory before I start this, DWM>so the two directories are empty. In your ZMODEMD.BAT file put the -c switch (DSZ -c). Files will not be overwritten but given new sequential extensions. * Origin: Taiwan Misionary BBS - Taichung, TAIWAN (12:2000/886)
