===== Function Help - [U]pload A File ===============================
The filing subsystem permits you to move files between your
system and the board. Uploading refers to you sending this board
a file.
The transfer of data can either be done in ASCII or by using one of
the two X/Ymodem protocols. The X/Ymodem protocol(s) provides a means
of checking the data transmitted for integrity - whereas the ASCII
transfer method does not.
File uploading to the board is very similar to downloading.
Uploading of ASCII files can be done without interruption between
lines. This system can handle data uploading at 1200 baud without
any problem. If the system falls behind during a file upload, it will
send an XOFF [Ctrl-S] to your system. If your system supports
XON/OFF file transfer speed-matching, data transmission will be
suspended until an XON [Ctrl-Q] is sent to you, indicating
PCBoard is ready to accept data again.
If this system runs out of disk space during an upload function,
it will issue a cancel request. This will be in the form of a
data stream of one or more ASCII CAN [Ctrl-X] characters. Your
system will abort transmission if it supports XON/OFF file
transfer speed-matching protocol. If your system does not support
XON/OFF, the data overflow will be lost and the board will
recycle, dropping you off line.
