- John,
-
- First of all, what protocol does the system at your school support? DSZ
- will support 7-bit transfers, but you have to tell it how.
- Anyways, assuming that's not it, if you want to DOWNLOAD something from
- the school to YOUR computer, you should start the school end sending,
- and initiate the following command from your end:
-
- dsz handshake both r rz
-
- The handshake both is necessary if you are using 9600+ baud. The first
- "r" param just allows you to resume an aborted download (nice feature of
- DSZ). Your message states you used the "sz" command, which means, "SEND
- a file from YOUR end to the DESTINATION end" which is incorrect (that
- would apply to an UPLOAD).
-
- Hope this helps.
