PC File Transfer Fails over a Telnet Network
Solution
If a PC file transfer fails over a TCP/IP network, do the following:
1 Enter the following command on the PC port of your access server. Substitute the port number
for 1 and the session number for 2:
Local> SHOW PORT 1 SESSION 2 CHARACTERISTICS
Port 1, Session 2, Protocol TELNET
Profile: Binary
Echo: Remote Newline From Term: CR
Toggle Echo: ^E Newline From Host: CRLF
Binary: Duplex Newline To Term: CRLF
Xmit Size: 8 Newline To Host: CRLF
Rcv Size: 8 Input Flow Control: Disabled
Signal Req.: Disabled Output Flow Control: Disabled
IP: +s +f ^Y Msg. Verification: Disabled
SYNCH: +s -f ^X Switch Characters: Disabled
AYT: -s -f ^T Quote: None
AO: -s +f ^O
EOR: -s -f None
BRK: -s -f None
The port characteristics (Profile, Binary, Xmit Size, Rcv Size, Signal Req., Input Flow
Control, Output Flow Control, Msg. Verification, and Switch Characters) should be set as
indicated in the previous display. The access server provides profiles that have many
characteristics predefined. For file transfer, you should use the Binary profile.
To enable the Binary profile, enter the following command on your access server. Substitute
the number of your port for 1:
Local> CHANGE PORT 1 TELNET CLIENT PROFILE BINARY
For more information on the Telnet client session profile, refer to the Network Access Software
Management Guide.
2 To determine if flow control is needed, refer to your file transfer program documentation. For
file transfers using the Telnet protocol, the Telnet client binary profile disables flow control.
For more information on setting up a file transfer partner, refer to the Network Access Software
Management Guide.
