Remote Server Utility
[remserv.exe
]
The server system runs the program [remserv.exe] that can make a
single drive on the server system available to the client. The
available drive can be changed at any time by quitting the
[remserv.exe] program and then running the program again with a
new drive letter.
Note: While [remserv.exe] will run on a FAT32 system, the
drive it makes available to the client cannot be FAT32. It
is recommended to remotely serve a PC’s floppy disk drive
since it is FAT16.
Syntax:
REMSERV.EXE d: [/Bnnnn] [+|-] [/COMn] [/Tnnn] [/S] [/H]
where
d:
represents the letter of the drive that the server makes
available to the client.
Option Description
/Bnnnn Selects the baud rate for transmission. Available baud rates
are 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and
115200. The default baud rate is 115200.
+/- The plus sign (+) specifies packet-style transmission and is
recommended for any baud rate over 19200. The default
setting is to i for packet transmission. Use the minus
sign (-) to specify polling operation under Windows
®
95.
COMn Selects the communication port. Available COM ports are
COM1 and COM2. COM1 is the default port.
/Tnnn Sets the time-out period in the range of 2 to 3,640 seconds.
/S Instructs [remserv.exe] to run without any display output.
/H Selects hardware handshaking for flow control.
Examples:
To select drive
B:
as the available server drive at 115200 baud,
using packet transmission and the COM1 port; type:
REMSERV B:
, and press the <ENT> key.
To select drive
C:
as the server disk at 9600 baud, without packet-
style transmission, using COM port 2, type:
REMSERV C: /B9600 /COM2
The server program can be terminated at any time by using the
Escape command (<FN> + <E> keys); however, the client can not
access the server’s drive again until the
[remserv.exe] program is
run again.
