I was able to ftp some files from a couple ftp's that people mailed to me, but I have a serious problem. Once I download them onto disk on my c64, the files refuse to run properly. I made sure that my file transfer system was set to receive a binary file (rather than ascii), and it DOES save as a PRG file. But, once the file completely arrives and I attempt to run it, it just turns the background and the border black and the character color white and locks the computer. Ever file I download has this same effect. Is there something I am doing wrong? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I would also like to know how to test the file transfer system. I would like to write a short (2-3 line) program, upload it to the ftp, and then ownload it again, and compare the results. But I don't know how to send things to the ftp. (Plus, sending a test program to a public domain software site is bound to make someone angry.) Any help people can give me would be greatly appreciated. -- Sean Ahern | Witty signature coming Purdue University | to a news xvj@mentor.cc.purdue.edu | posting near you! ahernsd@sage.cc.pudrue.edu |

What did you use to get your files from your local (unix?) home direcotry to your commodore? I assume you must have used a modem, but what kind of protocol did you use to make the transfer? (kermit?) Im working on using Xmodem 1K to make the transfers to the commdore 128/64 systems, but so far I have not had any luck. ctfm

VT100 (and a bit of VT102) emulation. And if you use a 128, the program can use the 128's 80 column screen, even though the program runs in 64 mode. (How?) The program is public domain. ...Chaz...

Try doing man xmodem on your system. If I wanted to to download a file named 'file1' I would type the following: xmodem sb file1 <<short for xmodem send binary file1>> the rb command is used for uploading to the unix << short for receive binary>> Pat
