transfer of a file from one directory on the sender’s side to another directory on
the receiver’s side.
Multiple filename pairs may be specified, which may be separated by other
XFER options.
The following conventions must be observed when using the
S2
option.
Failure to conform may result in errors.
z
The
S2
command must be specified ahead of any filenames.
z
When specifying dual filenames, the filenames must be separated by a
single space. The first filename in the pair is what the sender uses, and
the second filename is what the sender will transmit to the receiver. If
more than one space is used, all spaces after the first will be included as
part of the receiver’s filename.
z
The drive and path may be specified for components for either filename
in a pair. The actual name of the file must be included in both filenames
along with the drive and the path.
Correct examples:
Incorrect examples:
In the second incorrect example, the additional spaces would be included in the
receiver’s filename. This is generally wrong, but it may be correct if that is the
intended result. The third incorrect example is invalid because the filenames
must be separated by a single space; no other white-space character can be used.
This mistake most often occurs when using response files (refer to
T
Transmit File(s):
This option specifies that files are to be sent. For Xmodem
protocol, this is the default; that is, typing
XFER
foo
on the command line
would send the file
foo
.
C:\> xfer /zs2 file1 file2
C:\> xfer /zs2 c:\data\file1 d:\file2
C:\> xfer /zs2 c:\data\file1 d:\file1 c:\yourfile myfile
C:\> xfer /zs2 file1 data1 /b115200 file2 data2
C:\> xfer /zs2 file1 /b115200 file2
C:\> xfer /zs2 file1
file2
C:\> xfer /zs2 file1

If a filename is specified on the receiver’s side, that filename will override whatever
filename the sender transmits to the receiver.
