Hello all, I'm trying to write a script which automatically downloads
files from a machine on a terminal server. Due to bad luck, the machine is
only capable of using the Ymodem protocol, so I'm trying to get kermit to
download with Ymodem protocol. First of all, I am using:
C-Kermit 5A(190), 4 Oct 94, for SunOS 4.1 (BSD)
Now, with the kermit distribution came a file called ckurzsz.ini which
supposedly will do what I want. It allows XYZmodem transfers with the
following caveat:
; It is assumed that sx, rx, sb, rb, sz, and rz are in your UNIX PATH, and
; that they are the pre-1989 versions that allow their standard input and
; output to be redirected.
I do have rb in my $PATH, but it appears to be vintage:
rb 3.17 10-30-91 for V7/BSD by Chuck Forsberg, Omen Technology INC
Needless to say, the transfers are not working for me, and I suspect this
is the reason (but I'm certainly not sure!). When the run rb, I get:
C-Kermit>rb
rb ready. Type "sb file ..." to your modem program
?Command exit status: 1
So finally for the questions: has anyone used these XYZmodem macros and
programs through kermit successfully? or does anyone have some
"pre-1989 version" of `rb` for a Sun4 that I might use (or know how to
get it)? or does anyone have a suggestions of how I can write a script
which allows me to telnet someplace and receive a Ymodem transfer, or
any other wisdom about what might be going wrong? kermit seems to have
solved all other problems but this one... any ideas?
thanks,
Eric
