Out-of-Band File Transfers
Appendix B in this guide describes how to transfer files out-of-band (via the dial
telephone network), by means of the
xmodem
command.
Displaying the Contents of a File
Use the
type
command to display the contents of a file. Before displaying a file,
you can enable the
more
function to display the file one screen at a time.
Enter the following to display a file:
type
[
-x
]
<vol> : <file name>
-x
is an optional argument to display the file in hexadecimal format. This
argument allows files containing nonprintable information to be viewed.
<vol> specifies the slot number of the volume containing the file.
<file name> is the name of the file you are displaying.
The file is displayed in the same format in which it is stored (provided that you do
not enter the
-x
argument): binary for log files and ASCII for alias files. Log files
are stored in binary format; use the
log
command described in “Logging and
Displaying Event Messages” in Chapter 6 to display a log file in ASCII format.
If you enter: The local system:
tftp dark
put install.bat dark:2:install.bat
Transfers a copy of the
install.bat
file to volume 2
on the router known as “dark.”
