[comp.sys.amiga.datacomm] Problems downloading -- Help needed

grmg6820@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu (Geoffrey R. Mason) (02/11/91)

Hi there, I am using Handshake V2.12a, and I have tried unsuccessfully to
download Handshake V2.20c.  Let me tell you what I am doing.   

I am using Kermit in 8-bit binary mode.  I FTP the lzh (lharc) file from 
ab20, then kermit it to my Amiga, then I use zoo 2.00.  When I try lharc v1.10,
it tells me that the CRC failed, and that corrupted data is skipped in 
unpacking the files.

I figured maybe I needed the new lharc, so I tried to download the zoo file, 
but it tells me that it is an invalid or corrupted archive.

I have never been able to successfully download and unpack any compressed
or archived program.  

What should I do?

Well Heres' what ya MIGHT need to do.

1) FTp to the place
2) Do an "binary" command   <----- VERY IMPORTANT
3) DO a  "verbose" command  <------ Not as important
4) "get" the files

5) For kermit be sure to set the BINARY mode to on.
(See Kerman manual, i think it's the -i flag)

dload the file to ya amiga, Woalia..

Ya might wanna get Zmodem.. It more "idiot" resistane.
