- First question is "Is this the right group to post questions
- regarding PCPLUS?" If not could someone please stear me in the right
- direction.
-
- Now on with the real question.
-
- I am trying to load a file from my hard drive at home onto a computer
- at work. I am remotely logged in via a modem (Telebit T1000). When I
- do an ALT Z and select page up, I get the prompt for a selection. I
- select ascii since the file is written in ascii, then I write the file
- name at the next prompt. It sends the file to the remote computer, but
- it is not sent as a file. Instead the words in the file are read as
- separate commands. (i.e., the first word in the file I am trying to
- send is "Dear", the computer at work reads this as a command "Dear" and
- I get back the message "Cannot find this command".) When the file is
- finished being sent, the computer locks up and I have to hang up the
- line. BTW, I can download a file from my work computer onto my hard
- drive, if after I make my selections I 'cat' the file I am trying to
- receive.
-
- Soooo, How do I send files in PCPLUS as files. What small but
- important detail am I missing? My PCPLUS documentation is buried
- beneath a mound of boxes (we just moved) and since I am 8 months
- pregnant I do not want to go lifting all these to find it.
-
- Thanks for the assistance in advance.
