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.
