10/8 I want to transfer about 5 megs off of soda which will both
clear up space around here, and make my life easier. Problem is,
I can't seem to be able to transfer using sz or kermit. Ftp is not
an option, anyone have any ideas?
\_ get a fucking PPP connection you moron
\_ Who's the idiot coward who wrote this? I am using
\_ Probably Supreme Asshole Holub
TeraTerm 1.3, which can use either a TCP/IP
or Serial connection. It also has built in
Zmodem and Kermit across a PPP connection.
I have tried uploading a 600 kb .wav file
to my soda account with ZModem last week, and it
worked. Lots of
features yet very streamlined. Other programs
are either too large or if too small, are too
bareboned. You can find TeraTerm
on the tucows web site. --pcjr
\_ You might try going to one of the computer labs on campus
and ftping it there... It wouldn't take very long.
\_ 1.) I'm about 1,000 miles from campus at the moment, so
going to lab is not really an option. 2.) I've had no
problem sending files TO soda using rz, that works just
fine, it's when I type "sz *" on soda that things choke.
\_ Why don't you just zip the files into one large file and
then ftp it over, that way you won't have to hit 'y' for
1,000 files?

\_ i believe he said FTP was not an option at all. but if you do ftp,
try ftp -i, and then at ftp prompt, type mget.
this will get multiple files without prompting yes/no. then
you can bypass the whole zip process. (whew, my first
non-question contribution to the motd!)
\_ Is there a zip program on soda compatible with a DOS pkzip?
\_ zip and unzip are compatible... There aren't man pages
but if you just type 'zip' or 'unzip', their respective
helps show up. (Also, as an aside, tar and gzip are
available for DOS.)
\_ last i knew ftp was broken on soda both IN AND OUT.. in which
case ftp would not be an option at all. --shac
\_ I can use ftp just fine to and from soda. why isn't
ftp an option?
\_ 'sz -w 2048' works better for me than just 'sz'. -- jsjacob
\_ You know, I sympathize with your problem and all, but please
either sign your post or mail help@csua. Think about the fact
that 1000/day read this motd. -ausman
\_ I second the motion. |
