can be opened to view the progress of the send. When the Xmodem protocol is used, the user
will be prompted when to start the file receive with the message, “Give your local XMODEM
receive command now.”
Note: Ymodem transfers may display a line at the end of a successful transfer such
as, “Ymodem sectors/kbytes sent: 0/ 0k”, however, the transfer is successful if
“Transfer complete” is displayed and the bytes sent matches the size of the file.
7. To receive a file, complete the following fields:
8. Click the Receive File from Device Port button. The receive will be initiated, and the Status
window can be opened to view the progress of the receive. If a file with the same name
already exists in the repository and Receive Overwrite is not enabled, the transfer will abort
without overwriting the existing file.
Protocol Select whether to use the Xmodem, Ymodem or
Zmodem protocol. Xmodem is a very rudimentary
protocol that sends files in 128 byte blocks,
padding the resulting file if necessary. Ymodem
and Zmodem expand upon Xmodem by including
the file’s name, size and timestamp as part of the
protocol.
Receive File Name When Xmodem is used, enter the name to give
the file that is received.
Device Port Enter the device port number to receive the file
from. The device port that will be used must not
be currently in use for any other purpose.
Transfer Select whether to receive the file as a binary file
or an ASCII file.
Receive Overwrite Select whether to overwrite files in the repository
with the same name as the received file.
