To transfer files....
A: You call a BBS or Host machine. The logon asks for your name and
password. (the 1st time you call you have to answer more questions to
register).
B: Then you get menus and prompts. You goto the FILE menu (some systems
have the file menu built-in to the main menu) and press the command for
file transfer. The usual command is 'D' to download a file or 'U' to upload
a file.
C: The BBS will ask which FILE(s) to transfer and which protocol for the
transfer (some use the default protocol you named when you registered). The
best protocol to use if you can is Zmodem, Ymodem, or Ymodem-Batch. You
type in the full name of the file to transfer.
D: When the BBS says WAITING (or READY or START NOW) you goto YOUR software
file transfer screen (menu) to do the transfer from your end. (commonly
<PgDn> <PgUp> keys get your transfer menu in your software) and then make
sure your transfer Protocol matches the BBS protocol, and enter your file
name (and PATH where needed). Once started the transfer is automatic.
NOTE: Never use ASCII or TEXT as the transfer protocol...
