The xmodem Command
The following represents the syntax of the
xmodem
command:
For out-of-band file transfer operations, use only the
xmodem
command
parameters and options that are appropriate for:
• The YMODEM protocol
• The type of file you need to transfer
The relevant
xmodem
command parameters are
sb
(send binary) and
rb
(receive
binary). The relevant option flags are
y
(ymodem),
l
(logging),
w
(wait before
initiating transfer),
p
(print/display
xmodem
information and events),
n
(allow
midtransfer cancel), and
e
(disable EOT verification -- DOS only).
The
y
and
w
option flags are required in the
xmodem
commands (to select
YMODEM, and for proper handshaking with the YMODEM protocol program
running on the remote workstation). You should use the
p
option to monitor the
progress of any out-of-band file transfer in progress (UNIX only).
You can enable or disable logging of
xmodem
events using the
l
flag, or cancel a
particular file transfer by entering Control-x.
Note:
You can enter the
xmodem
command line parameters and option flag
characters in upper- or lower-case. Do not insert spaces between parameter
characters, between option flag characters, or between a parameter and an
option flag character. Do insert a space after the last option flag and between
file names (for YMODEM batch file transfers).
