We are using Zterm, sz, and rz to transfer files back and forth between UNIX and a Mac. Unfortunately, we only get the "forth" part of that. Transfers from UNIX to the Mac work fine, but test transfers from the Mac to UNIX always hang after successfully sending the first text file, and binary transfers from the Mac to Unix never get past the first block or two--they go into an endless sequence of retries. It seems to me that the UNIX end isn't treating binary data correctly, but I am at a loss to know why. We've tried compiling rz for both Sun 3's and Sun 4's, and get the same problem on each. Any suggestions? Thanks, Ken McDonald mcdonald@lccr.cs.sfu.ca

Any suggestions? I was having the same problems. You have to check with the administrator (not the docs) of the Unix system to make sure what the correct settings are: data bits, stop bits, parity, handshake, etc. Also, I was informed that before I connect to my Unix, there is a command "terminal download" that must be entered onto the server before logging on so that the server will not interfere. As for uploading binary data, type rz -b to assure the upload will be binary. Everything works great for me now! Hope this helps. --Willi
