HyperACCESS for OS/2 Host Commands
-----------------------------------------------------------------
This file contains a summary of commands which HyperACCESS for
OS/2's Host mode makes available to callers, and to the operator
of the Host PC.
The Host PC operator can assign different types of access to
callers. If you are a caller, and you have questions about the
privileges that the Host PC operator has assigned to you, please
check with the Host PC operator.
Please note that, as the Host PC operator, you may log in to
Host PC locally (i.e., from the keyboard of the Host PC) by
pressing <Ctrl+L>, but only while Host is NOT waiting for calls.
This enables you to test Host mode, without the need to call
in from another PC.
This document contains separate sections which discuss:
1. - Commands available to all callers
2. - Commands for callers with download privleges
3. - Commands for callers with upload privileges
4. - Commands for callers with file management privleges
5. - Commands used in batch files
NOTE: Options in brackets [] indicate optional parameters.
Options separated by the pipe symbol | are mutually exclusive;
you may specify just one of the given choices.
------------------------------------
1. - Commands available to all users
------------------------------------
HELP [topic]
Displays the list of commands the caller can enter to
control the answering PC. For more detailed help, enter
HELP followed by any command shown in this section.
QUIT, BYE or DONE
Ends the call.
CHAT
Puts the Host PC into chat mode, so the caller can type
messages to the Host operator. If the Host operator is
there, he and the caller can take turns typing. To
return to the host prompt, either may type <Ctrl+C>.
DIR [options] [path][filename]
Displays directories of files on the Host PC's disks.
The filename can contain a drive or directory, and * or ?.
Callers who are restricted to a particular directory or
drive cannot examine files from other areas.
Options
/P Pause between screens
/N New (long name) format
/O:x Sort by order.
Where x is one of the following:
N Sort by Name
E Sort by Extension
S Sort by Size
D Sort by Date
/S List files in subdirectories
CHDIR path
CD path
Changes to the current directory of the Host PC. (The
current directory is shown within the Host prompt). Callers
who are restricted to a particular directory or drive can
change to its subdirectories, but cannot change to other
directories.
CLS
Clears the Host PC's screen and places the prompt in the
upper left corner.
-------------------------------------------------
2. - Commands for callers with download privleges
-------------------------------------------------
NOTE: To make the Host PC send files from a directory AND it
subdirectories, callers can enter HSEND, ZSEND, YSEND, GYSEND
or KSEND, followed by a space, /S, and a filename. For
example:
HSEND /S \DB\*.DAT
would make the Host PC send files with the .DAT extension from
the \DB directory and its subdirectories.
SEND filename
Sends a file from the Host PC to the caller's PC using Text
protocol. Only ASCII files can be transferred with Text
protocol. After entering this, the caller instructs the
communications software on his computer to capture text that
displays, then types <Enter> to make the Host PC begin
sending. Callers can type <Ctrl+S> to suspend, and <Ctrl+Q>
to resume, and <Ctrl+C> to cancel during the transfer.
HSEND [/S] filename
Sends a file or files from the Host PC to the caller's PC
using HyperProtocol. This command can be used only by
callers whose communications software contains HyperProtocol.
For a single file, the caller enters HSEND and a filename;
the filename can include * or ? to specify file groups;
multiple filenames can be entered separated by spaces.
After entering this, the caller instructs the communications
software on his PC to begin receiving.
XSEND filename
Sends a file from the Host PC to the caller's PC using
Xmodem protocol. Since Xmodem cannot transfer multiple
files, the caller must enter the name of a single file
without * or ?. After entering this, the caller instructs
the communications software on his PC to begin receiving with
Xmodem protocol.
YSEND [/S] filename
Sends a file or files from the Host PC to the caller's PC
using Ymodem protocol. For a single file, the caller enters
YSEND and the filename; the filename can include * or ? to
specify file groups; multiple filenames can be entered
separated by spaces. After entering this, the caller
instructs the communications software on his PC to begin
receiving with Ymodem protocol.
GYSEND [/S] filename
Callers can use this command to make the Host PC send with
Ymodem-G protocol, which is faster than Ymodem. Instead of
acknowledging each received packet, it simply aborts a
transfer if an error occurs. If both computers have
HyperProtocol, use it instead for the fastest, most reliable
transfers.
ZSEND [/S] filename
Sends a file or files from the Host PC to the caller's PC
with Zmodem protocol. For a single file, the caller enters
ZSEND and the filename; the filename can include * or ? to
specify file groups; multiple filenames can be entered
separated by spaces. After entering this, the caller
instructs the communications software at his end to begin
receiving with Zmodem protocol.
KSEND [/S] filename
Sends a file or files from the Host PC to the caller's PC
with Kermit protocol. For a single file, the caller enters
KSEND and a filename; the filename can include * or ? to
specify file groups; multiple filenames can be entered
separated by spaces. After entering this, the caller
instructs the communications software on his PC to begin
receiving with Kermit protocol.
TYPE filename [/C]
Displays contents of a text file stored on the Host PC.
Callers can use the text capture feature of HyperACCESS to
capture the text to a file. During the display of the file,
HyperACCESS will display one screen at a time, then give
the caller the option to display another screen, display
the file continuously, or quit. The caller can type
<Ctrl+S> to suspend display, <Ctrl+Q> to resume, and
<Ctrl+C> to cancel.
If /C is specified, the file displayed without the "More,
Nonstop, Quit (M/N/Q) [M]?" prompt after each page.
-----------------------------------------------
3. - Commands for callers with upload privleges
-----------------------------------------------
NOTE: When telling the Host PC to receive a file by typing HREC,
ZREC, KREC, YREC, or GYREC, callers can use these upload
options:
/O Overwrite
This causes the Host PC to overwrite existing files when it
receives files with the same filenames.
/N Newer
This causes the Host PC to overwrite existing files when it
receives identically named files with a more recent time and
date.
/P Path
This causes the Host PC to store files using directory names
included in received filenames. (When sending the files,
the caller needs to instruct the communications software on
his PC to send the filenames' paths with the files.)
REC filename
Makes the Host PC receive a file from the caller's PC using
Text protocol. Only ASCII files can be transferred with
Text protocol. After entering this, the caller instructs
the communications software on his PC to begin sending the
file using Text (or ASCII) protocol. To indicate the end of
the file,
