File Transfer; Introduction; Protocols Supported - Neoware c50 - Thin Client User Manual

This chapter describes how to transfer files using the Kermit,
XMODEM, XMODEM-1K, YMODEM Batch, ZMODEM and IXF
protocols.

Introduction

TeemTalk includes a file transfer utility which enables two-way file transfer between
the host and your workstation. This chapter describes how to transfer files when
running any emulation except the IBM emulations. Refer to the IBM File Transfer
chapter when running the IBM 3270 emulation.
A range of file transfer protocols are supported to provide compatibility with virtually
any host computer. Several transfers may be run simultaneously in the background
while you continue to use other applications.

Protocols Supported

Kermit
Kermit is a packet-oriented file transfer protocol which enables binary files to be
transferred between 7 and 8 bit systems. Multiple file transfers and data compression
is supported.
XMODEM
XMODEM is a block-oriented protocol which enables a single file to be transferred
at a time in 128 byte blocks. It uses two-way communications and checks for errors
using a cycling redundancy check unless the host does not respond, in which case a
checksum is used.
XMODEM-1K
XMODEM-1K is similar to XMODEM but uses 1024 byte data blocks, speeding up
transmission.
