[comp.unix.amiga] A3000UX to SUN questions

jason@cbmami.UUCP (Jason Goldberg) (05/02/91)

If I want to download some files from a SUN system at school via my A3000UX
what should I use.  I have tried Kermit and can't get it to work.  I would
like to get the source to SZ/RZ but I would still need some way to dial the
modem.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,


-Jason-

Try using cu: File Transfer with: ~%put and  ~%take.

If your going to use kermit be sure to setup both sides properly.
for example:

   set line /dev/term/ser
   set speed <baudrate>
   set file name literal
   set file type binary

This must be done on both sides (assuming your transferring binary data)

I've had no problem using kermit on the A3000UX.

I have the SZ/RZ source, but it tends to want to output to the screen
etc....you could perhaps dial with kermit and then try and force i/o to the
serial device...I haven't tried, although I might and let you know.

Other than that, you can get the source and try yourself...
