I use ckermit to do file transfers between a creaky old VAX and several
VAXes and ALPHAs around North America. I've always been able to tweak the
configurations of each to where my file transfers were successful,
However, there is one site to which attemped transfers simply won't work
when using ckermit. I can acheive the same transfer between the same 2
computers using an older version of kermit and using WRQ's Reflection
protocol.
My employer has directed me to make it work at this one site, rather than
to use the alternate file transfer methods that do work.
I have attempted to modify the following parameters:
timeout (this gets me an error-out quicker)
packet length (from 64 to 512)
The following match on the 2 computers:
speed (9600)
mode (local)
modem (hayes)
terminal bits (7)
parity (none)
duplex (full)
flow (xon/xoff)
handshake (none)
carrier (auto)
names (converted)
type (labeled)
Actually, everything on the 2 computers matches; I only listed the ones
that seem significant.
Any ideas on how to make this succeed? Since my outbound e-mail is
unreliable, I'd prefer to keep the discussion of this problem here in the
newsgroup.
Which VMS versions in use?
On the remote computer (mine) VMS 6.2
On the host computer (to which I'm sending files) VMS 5.5-2
this is a very common VMS version for my clients, and all of the other
sites work ok with ckermit transfers from my VAX.
Which version of C-Kermit?
5A(188) on each; the hosts use a copy of mine.
What kind of file is it?
binary
Symptoms?
S%T%T%T%...T%
"?Too Many Retries"
[at that point it times out & returns me to the prompt on the station
from which I am sending)
(remember: I can accomplish this transmittal using the same
computers/phone lines/modem, but different software, or the same
lines/modem and a pc-vax connection with different software)
