Sending text files using XMODEM
With the XMODEM protocol you can send files or a large amount of
information to another computer or word processor. The advantage of
using XMODEM is that XMODEM detects a transmission failure and
resends the information again.
"
To send a file using XMODEM:
1. Insert Diskette 2.
2. Click on the File Manager icon on the Main Menu.
3. Double-click on Communications.
4. If you have not connected to the other computer, see Getting Ready to
Communicate" on page 336.
5. Insert the diskette with the file you want to send.
Before you can use XMODEM to
transfer files, check that the other
computer is set up to receive an
XMODEM transfer
. Do this by
calling before you start your
connection, or, once you are
connected, by sending a
message to the other computer
indicating that you want to use
XMODEM. Ask the receiver to
select XMODEM from the File
Menu.
Also, to send a file the other
person must have enough disk
space.
