If your screen displays a Command not found message when you choose START TRANSFER from
AdvLink, either pcserver has not yet been installed on your HP-UX system, or it has been installed in a
directory that is not part of your current path.
HP-UX treats files containing binary or ASCII data identically. Therefore it is up to the user to specify the
desired file type when using pcserver to transfer files with Advancelink. The difference between the
two is that during ASCII transfers, pcserver maps HP-UX line-feed characters to the MS-DOS
carriage-return/line-feed pair. This produces incorrect results when transferring a binary file as an ASCII
file.
Also, older versions of AdvanceLink show totally inaccurate estimates for file transfer times. This does not
interfere with the actual transfer.
If the PC is reset while a transfer is taking place, it may temporarily appear to be a "dead" terminal port.
This is no cause for alarm; left to its own devices, pcserver will restore the port in a short time. In the
worst case, it could take six timeout periods (6×20 = 120 seconds). For faster response, press the Break
key a few times to terminate pcserver immediately.
