File Transfer
This chapter describes how to transfer files using the Kermit,
XMODEM, XMODEM-1K, YMODEM Batch, ZMODEM and
ASCII protocols.
Introduction
TeemTalk includes a file transfer utility which enables two-way file transfer between
the host and your PC. A range of file transfer protocols are supported to provide
compatibility with virtually any host computer. Several transfers may be run
simultaneously in the background while you continue to use other Windows
applications.
Protocols Supported
Kermit
Kermit is a packet-oriented file transfer protocol which enables binary files to be
transferred between 7 and 8 bit systems. Multiple file transfers and data compression
is supported.
XMODEM
XMODEM is a block-oriented protocol which enables a single file to be transferred
at a time in 128 byte blocks. It uses two-way communications and checks for errors
using a cycling redundancy check unless the host does not respond, in which case a
checksum is used.
XMODEM-1K
XMODEM-1K is similar to XMODEM, but uses 1024 byte data blocks, speeding up
transmission.
