Hi ---
I believe that I am having a problem with file transfer between my PC
and our UNIX system. Here are the particulars:
PC running MS-Kermit 3.14/Beta 12 (14 Nov 94)
UNIX running C-Kermit 5A(190) for Solaris 2.x (4 Oct 94)
When I use pcsend to download files from UNIX to the PC, everything works
fine (Text xfers are text, and binary xfers are binary).
But when I use pcget to upload files from PC to UNIX, every file gets
transferred as "Binary" even if I want "Text" type transfer.
Here is the troubleshooting I tried to narrow it down....
Looked at "show file" on both sides...it says "Text"
Get the above result when I pcget from UNIX.
Tried set file type text explicitly on both ends before pcget.
Still get same result.
Wrote a little script to rule out error in pcget macro:
apc server
pause 2
remote set file type text
set file type text
get dosfile.txt
finish
Ran the script from UNIX side, and still the file was xferred as Binary
not Text!
What am I missing here ?
I would appreciate any suggestions, insights, criticism, etc.
As far as RTFB goes :-), I'm still working from .HLP/.UPD/.BWR
as my copy of the book hasn't arrived yet :-(
Thanks very much,
