File transfer protocol selection
RBBS-PC allows you to select a default file transfer protocol.
RBBS-PC will use the selected protocol for all uploads and downloads unless
you specify a protocol when downloading/uploading.
TIPS:
1. You may want not to have a default transfer protocol if you use a
variety of protocols. Select the N)one option and RBBS-PC will ask for
your preferred protocol before each file transfer.
2. The protocol you want RBBS-PC to use must also be used by your
communications package. Protocols available in RBBS-PC include Ascii
(no error checking), Xmodem, Xmodem/CRC, and 1K-Xmodem. Others can be
installed by the Sysop, such as Kermit, Windowed Xmodem, Zmodem, and
Batch Ymodem. Xmodem is the most widely supported, but Ymodem and
Zmodem are faster.
3. You can override the default my specifying the protocol on the same
command line as D)ownload or U)pload. E.g. "D FILE.TXT C" downloads
file FILE.TXT in Xmodem/CRC no matter what the default protocol is.
