To transfer files....
A:> You call a BBS or Host machine. The logon asks for your name and
password. (the 1st time you call you have to answer more questions to
register).
B:> Then you get menus and prompts. You goto the FILE menu (some
systems have the file menu built-in to the main menu) and enter the command
for file transfer. The usual command is 'D' to download a file or 'U' to
upload a file. Usually you then press [Enter]. then.....
C:> The BBS will ask which FILE(s) to transfer and which protocol for
the transfer (some use the default protocol you named when you registered).
The best protocol to use if you can is Zmodem, Ymodem, or Ymodem-Batch. You
type in the full name of the file to transfer. (If you are not connected
with MNP or V42x you cannot use the '-G' protocols).
D:> When the BBS says WAITING (or READY or START NOW) only THEN do you
goto YOUR software file transfer screen (menu) to do the transfer from your
end. (commonly <PgDn> <PgUp> keys get your transfer menu in your software)
and then make sure your transfer Protocol matches the BBS protocol, and
enter your file name (and PATH where needed). Once started the transfer is
automatic.
NOTE: Never use ASCII or TEXT as the transfer protocol... Also if you
don't have an error-correction connection, then you are not able to use
either of '-G' modem protocols.
