.TH ASCII-XFR 1 "$Date: 2000/11/17 15:20:28 $" "" "Linux Users Manual".SH NAMEascii-xfr \- upload/download files using the ASCII protocol.SH SYNOPSIS.B ascii-xfr.B -s|-r.RB [ \-ednv ].RB [ \-l.IR linedelay ].RB [ \-c.IR characterdelay ].I filename.SH DESCRIPTION.B Ascii-xfrTransfers files in ASCII mode. This means no flow control, nochecksumming and no file-name negotiation. It should \fIonly\fPbe used if the remote system doesn't understand anything else..PPThe ASCII protocol transfers files line-by-line. The EOL(End-Of-Line) character is transmitted as CRLF. Whenreceiving, the CR character is stripped from the incoming file.The Control-Z (ASCII 26) character signals End-Of-File, if option -eis specified (unless you change it to Cotrol-D (ASCII 4) with -d)..PP\fBAscii-xfr\fP reads from \fIstdin\fP when receiving, andsends data on \fIstdout\fP when sending. Some form ofinput or output redirection to the the modem device isthus needed when downloading or uploading, respectively..SH OPTIONS.IP \fB\-s\fPSend a file..IP \fB\-r\fPReceive a file. One of \fB-s\fP or \fB-r\fP \fImust\fPbe present..IP \fB\-e\fPSend the End-Of-File character (Control-Z, ASCII 26 by default) whenuploading has finished..IP \fB\-d\fPUse the Control-D (ASCII 4) as End-Of-File character..IP \fB\-n\fPDo not translate CR to CRLF and vice versa..IP \fB\-v\fPVerbose: show tranfer statistics on the stderr output..IP "\fB\-l\fP \fImilliseconds\fP"When transmitting, pause for this delay after each line..IP "\fB\-c\fP \fImilliseconds\fP"When transmitting, pause for this delay after each character..IP \fIfile\fPName of the file to send or receive. When receiving, any existingfile by this name will be truncated..SH USAGE WITH MINICOMIf you want to call this program from \fBminicom(1)\fP, start minicomand go to the \fBO\fPptions menu.
