Download/Upload Protocols
VBBS 6.12 Documentation -- 2-G-1
╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ CHAPTER TWO ANNEX G DOWNLOAD/UPLOAD PROTOCOLS ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
PROTOCOLS are the means by which files are transferred to
and from your system. The original protocol was XModem, devel-
oped by Ward Christensen; there are many more to choose from now.
VBBS comes "out of the package" preconfigured to handle XModem,
YModem, ZModem, ZModem-Batch, and HS-Link protocols and it own
proprietary VXY protocol. Other protocols may added at your
discretion. Each protocol is configurable by:
1) Which letter the user will press to select that protocol
2) The name and description of the protocol
3) DOS command line to run protocol. Parameters passed are
%1 COM port
%2 baud rate
%3 filename
%4 handshake
%5 UART rate
%6 port base
%7 port IRQ
%8 channel number
%9 upload directory
4) Batch compatible? (Y/N)
For most installations, the preconfigured protocols will
be more than sufficient; should you wish to add other protocols,
consult the protocol documentation for information on construc-
ting the proper command line.
--> IMPORTANT NOTE: It is HIGHLY recommended that you use the
FULL path when you specify the filename of
your transfer protocols; these programs are
notorious for their pickiness in this re-
gard. For example, with ZModem, you might
use the following command line to set it up
to receive files (upload protocol):
C:\VBBS\DSZ port %1 ha %4 restrict rz
