- Hi all!
-
- I have just gained access to FTP from my local feed. I basically dial into
- the system, 'run up FTP', and then select a site to FTP from, right?
-
- I only wish it was that easy!!
-
- I have FTP'd files to my local site, then used Kermit to download them to
- the A3000. All files I have downloaded have ended up corrupt/unuseable!
-
- Basicly I -:
-
- (1) Open the FTP link, then type BIN.
-
- (2) Find and GET the file I want.
-
- (3) Bye the link, and then enter Kermit locally
-
- (4) Set Kermit with SET FILE TYPE BIN
-
- (5) Download the file, using MSEND.
-
- The files I end up seem to send up coorrupt! 8-(
-
- Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong, before I I loose all of my hair
- from 'pulling my hair out'... 8-)
-
- I have read the online help manual on the machine in question, and
- unfortunately, it doesn't go into operational routines - just help on each
- command...
-
- Any information here or via EMail gratefully appreciated!
-
- Regards,
-
