Hello,
I have been working on a project which requires me to transfer files from a
SCO Unix box to a QNX 2.x/3.x box. When I use Kermit to transfer binary
files from the QNX box to the Unix Box and vice versa, the file is damaged
and can not be executed. I have reset the executable permissions/attributes
on the QNX box one I am done with the transfer, however I get the OS error
"Bad Load File." I have tried both binary and ascii file transfers, but
neither has worked succesfully. The file size at the beginning of my
transfer process is 159 blocks, and at the end is 156 blocks.
The QNX box is running Kermit v2.03. Here is the command line syntax:
KERMIT V2.03
use: kermit [device] SEnd [options]* src_file[,dst_file] [x=index_file] ...
or kermit [device] REceive [options]* [p=prefix] [f=forced_filename]
options: -make_dir +Qterm +relaxed_timing +verbose -verbose
D=debug_file -ers -q_8bit=ON|ENABLE|DISABLE -q_rpt=ON|OFF
s=setup_file +binary +unique
The SCO Unix (OS 3) box is running Kermit v6.0.192 in interactive mode.
The connection is being made as follows: From a SCO Unix box I telnet to a
remote SCO Unix box (both OS3). On the remote SCO Unix box I open an
asynchronous "cu" connection to the QNX box. I then initiate the command
"kermit se +binary myfile.exe" on the QNX box. Dropping back to the local
SCO box using "ctrl-\ c" I type "set file type binary" followed by "receive
myfile.txt." The file transfer seems to go as expected, however when I do
the reverse and put the file back on a QNX box, I get the error described
above.
My question is simply what could be causing the files to changed during
transfer and how can I prevent it. I suspect that compression may be the
culprit, but am not sure. I do not have any problems transferring ascii
files back and forth. Any assistance with this issue is greatly
appreciated.
