Copy files to my Computer 2

[Guest_imported]

I new to Unix and I need copy files from a SCO Openserver from my client computer connected to the unix box through serial port.

Thanks

if both are unix then uucp was designed for this. from root, man uucp to find out how. Ed Fair

maybe this is what you mean:

say, from your MS window 95/98/NT/2000:

1. go to START=>RUN=>
2. type cmd
3. go to directory where you want to download file/s
4. at the command prompt of the dir u chose,
enter command: ftp (host ip address or hostname)
5. give user_name and password
6. go to file dir by using cd command
7. type bin (for binary conversion/transfer)
8. enter command get (file_name)
9. check file on ur local terminal directory(#3)
10. repeat(#4 to #8 if more files to load)

'hope it'll help you.

Much easier to ftp using a good ftp package on the windows pc, e.g. WS_FTP Pro.

The original post was about serial ports guys.... To do the things you're suggesting you first need to get something (SLIP, PPP, something) that will support TCP running over the serial ports Mike

Setting up a PPP connection between the two Unix system would be one way of doing this. I however have only configured PPP using modem to modem dialup. Not sure about about direct port to port connection.

As indicated by Mike, UUCP would be something to look at and understand.

I can also think of another soloution using a P/C as a staging point between the the two hosts. If thats of interest. Maybe two much work ?

If both unix then uuinstall to put the uucp stuff active and name systems on both
change the usr/spool/uucp/Permissions file to allow transfer in and limit access
uucp source!/path/filename dest!/path/filename
uuinstall will guide you thru the systems names and the ports to be used and will give you options to test the connections.

Thanks for the observation Mike I didn't go back to the beginning of the thread!

I regularly move files between SCO unix boxes using Berkley kermit which I think is still free for unix (they ask commercial users to buy the manual). The latest versions will run at at least 115200 on SCO Openserver ansd Unixware (but only 38400 on 3.2.4) and are available for all flavours of unix. Although the original kermit was pretty dreadful you can now have packets of up to 4000 bytes which makes it much more efficient.

The complication is that Berkley's Windows version of kermit has to be purchased. I have tried Hyperterm at the Windows end but although it did communicate it gave errors.

I have used a terminal package from arnet, which was pulled from the market before digi bought them out. But I'm not sure that this is a question of MS to Unix or a unix to unix problem as the original post was ambiguous. In any case it forced me to refresh the UUCP info that I hadn't used for years and to go back to 3.2v2.0 to get a manual that at least gave minimal info. If I didn't have need to implement the same thing from 3.2v4.2 to Xenix 2.3.4 I don't know if I would have stayed the course. Talk about obscure commands and insufficient manuals. Ed Fair

Roy -- Yes, Kermit.... Good idea, never occurred to me, you might know. Much easier to set up as well. Mike
