- The only difference I see is that you chose binary file on
- the sender end.
-
- I have never sucessfully gotten kermit to work with my apple
- under any circumstances. I tried xmodem at home last night
- with no success, but have used it successfuly here at work.
- SO I brought all the crap back in today.
-
- If I can at least get a successfull transfer, then my
- 2 remaining issues are:
-
- 1) transfering directories in the interest of time
- 2) Getting the transfered files on another disk. I only
- have one drive. I've tried swapping disks with no success.
-
-
- When I involk kermit on the sun I do "kermit", and "server".
- Then I back out.
