[07] WHY CAN'T I USE FTP TO TRANSFER MY FILES?
|
|
|
|
Inbound FTP connections (via FTP, scp or sftp) are available to
|
|
validated members and above. For more information about validation
|
|
please type 'validate' at the shell.
|
|
|
|
A slower, but still acceptable method of sending/receiving files
|
|
from SDF can be found with the XYZMODEM tools. Infact, SDF used
|
|
XYZMODEM for file transfers before we installed FTP. If you don't
|
|
know about XYZMODEM, these are a protocol set for transfering files
|
|
over a dialup modem connection. Some TELNET programs such as
|
|
TERATERM support these protocols.
|
|
|
|
Examples
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Uploading a file to SDF:
|
|
|
|
1. Tell SDF you want to send a file:
|
|
|
|
$ rz (or 'upload')
|
|
|
|
2. Start the file transfer from your TERMINAL.
|
|
|
|
Downloading a file from SDF:
|
|
|
|
1. Tell SDF which files you want to download:
|
|
|
|
$ sz filename
|
|
|
|
Usually (with ZMODEM) your TERMINAL will automatically respond by
|
|
initiating a file transfer session.
|
|
|
|
We recommend using ZMODEM as it seems to be the fastest and most
|
|
reliable method. You can use "sb/rb - YMODEM or sx/rb - XMODEM"
|
|
if ZMODEM doesn't seem to work for you.
|
|
|
|
Finally, you can also use the C port of Columbia's KERMIT protocol.
|
|
This program was original developed to transfer files between the
|
|
DECSystem-10 and the IBM PCs that students and faculty were using
|
|
as terminals.
|
|
|
|
C KERMIT actually has a C implementation of CMND-JSYS, the command
|
|
parser which implementions command completion and recognition that
|
|
made TOPS-10 and TOPS-20 so popular. Also, there is support for
|
|
ZMODEM/XMODEM/YMODEM in KERMIT. Use 'set proto zmodem' to turn it
|
|
on.
