- I'm not sure what you can do about VLT/Kermit insisting on the pathname, but
- you can:
- (1) Rename the RAM DISK: to something without a space in it. (Amiga side)
-
- (2) mv "RAM DISK:filename" filename , which works on my UNIX system
- * note the quotes... :)
-
- (3) Try the "External Options" menu item. For Zmodem at least there is
- an option to turn "Send Full Path" *OFF*. For Kermit, maybe.
-
- Hope this helps some ...
