- The Download command is used to transfer files from the BBS to you. Your
- computer or terminal must be capable of receiving the file using one of
- three possible transfer protocols: Xmodem, CRC Xmodem, or Ymodem. If no
- protocol has been previously selected when you give the Download command,
- you will be prompted for a protocol; otherwise, the protocol used last is
- used.
- To begin downloading, enter the name of the file you wish to receive.
- You must enter the full filename. ONLY FILES IN THE CURRENT DIRECTORY may be
- downloaded; if you wish to download a file from a directory other than the
- one that's current, you must Jump to that directory first. When the BBS
- displays the message "Ready to send", the file transfer is ready to begin.
- However, before you can receive the file, you must give your terminal the
- proper command. Usually, this is done by selecting an option to receive
- files on a menu.
- A file may be password protected. If you attempt to download such a
- file, you will be prompted for a password, and the download will proceed
- only if you provide the correct password.
- To get a directory of the files available for downloading, use the
- Files and New commands.
