[comp.sys.amiga.datacomm] ftp'ing from ab20

bhs@calmasd.Prime.COM (Bradlee Sargent) (02/14/91)

I tried doing the following
ftp'ing from ab20 to a Vax at work in binary mode one of the sounds on that
machine, namely, /amiga/sounds/samples/wonderfl.lzh.

Then I ftp'ed it from the Vax at work to the sun at work.

Then I went home and used my amiga to log into the sun at work
and using vt100 ran kermit.  I used the server command and did a kermit
get on wonderfl.lzh.  Then I lharc'ed the wonderfl.lzh file and then lharc
told me that the file was corrupted.  When I tried to listen to the file it wasn't in ftp format any more.  What happened.  I used binary mode in ftp'ing the file.  Is there any way to be more direct in getting files off of ab20.  Is there
any way I could directly contact ab20 from my amiga and leave out all the middlemen.  I would need the phone number and a program like Amigauucp, but then I
might have the same problem getting that program that I had with wonderfl.lzh.

Please help.

Also, does anyone know of a vt100 emulator that supports regis?
