I don't know what I am doing wrong, but cannot seem to transfer binary files from another computer (PDP 11/73) to an HP 9000/370 running HP-UX ver 6.2. I tried setting the file type to fixed on the PDP. The PDP kermit was in the server mode and I tried getting the files on the HP. I also tried sending files from the PDP and receiving them on the HP. No success. ASCII files transfer correctly. Any suggestions?

Any suggestions? I've never used Kermit on a PDP or HP system but under VMS and on IBM PCs Kermit has the comand SET FILE TYPE BINARY The default transfer type is ASCII that's why ASCII files transfer correctly. -- Jim Kay kay@iccgcc.decnet.ab.com

On HP-UX kermit has a -i option for binary files. This should be set on
the sending system.
I don't know if a similar option is available on the PDP.
