3. Use the Name, Folder and Disk lines to locate the file you want to send.
4. Press OK on the MC 218 and prepare the other machine to receive a file.
If possible, perform these actions simultaneously.
Sending more than one file
To send more than one file:
1. Create a folder specifically for the files you want to send, place all the
relevant files in it and select Send file on the Transfer menu.
2. Select the YModem (batch) protocol, then select the folder containing the
files you want to send in the Folder line.
3. Press the Tab key in the Name line, hold down Shift while using the down
arrow key to select all the files in the folder, then press Enter. Press OK
and prepare the remote machine to receive a file.
To receive a file from a remote machine once a connection has been
established:
1. Select Receive file on the Transfer menu, or tap the Receive file toolbar
button.
2. Select the transfer protocol in the Receive file dialog. Make sure it is the
one the remote machine will use to send the file.
3. Choose a folder for the file to be saved in. If you are receiving a file using
either the ASCII or XModem protocol, specify a filename. (YModem
transfers take the filename from the sending machine.)
4. Press OK on the MC 218 and instruct the remote machine to send the file.
If possible, perform these actions simultaneously.
To receive more than one file:
• Follow the steps above, using the YModem (batch) protocol. Tell the other
machine to send a number of files using the same protocol. At the end of
the file transfer you will find you have a number of files in the target
folder.
Note! When receiving.OPO files and other files which normally have
extensions in their filenames, you should include these extensions in the
names you give each of the received files, or the MC 218 may not be able to
run them correctly.
While sending or receiving a file, a dialog will keep you informed about the
progress of the transfer. When the transfer has finished, Comms will display a
‘File transfer succeeded’ message and return to the Terminal emulation
screen.
Note! To cancel a transfer at any time, tap the Cancel button in the file
transfer dialog.
If you set the MC 218 to receive a file, it will ‘time out’ (terminate the
connection when nothing has happened for a given period) if a connection is
