I'm using Procomm 2.4.2. My UNIX machine (CTIX) has C-kermit 4D(060)
and zmodem. I can upload files to UNIX with kermit or ymodem protocols.
I cannot download from UNIX to my AT-compatible with kermit, ymodem, or
xmodem. Kermit complains that it can't open file, while the other protocols
just silently fail. (I did try both text and binary in C-kermit)
Any ideas why the one-way flow?

(I did try both text and binary in C-kermit) On the Unix end of the connection, you need to chmod the file to be downloaded to 666 or some other mode that allows executable access by anyone. It's a kludge, that we discovered after days of trying to download several files. ---------------------------------------------------------- | Scott Fischer - Computer Science Systems Group | | University of Minnesota - (612) 625-0876 | | | | fischer@umn-cs.cs.umn.edu or fischer@wkspe.cs.umn.edu | | rutgers!meccts!umn-cs!fischer | ----------------------------------------------------------

First off, 666 is read and write access for everybody, not execte access. Execute is the last bit of each octal digit and usually involves using a 7 as the mode. Secondly, this cannot be the only problem. I have successfully downloaded many files that were set to 644. (i.e. read write permission for user, read only permission for group and other, execute permission for none) +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | _ /| "Cat's don't look up to anyone." | | \`O_o' "Especially not human beings!" -- Stephen Baker | | ( ) How to Live With a | | U Jim Boritz Neurotic Cat | | | | Ack! lotsofmachines!watmath!watdragon!jjboritz | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
