USING SKYLITE CHAPTER 2
File Transfer between PC and Host
The following sections describe how to use the File Transfer option to transfer files
between the PC and host and how to configure file transfer.
Before starting:
Before this option is selected, you must have already prepared the host computer to be
ready to either send or receive the file(s).
You need to find out which file transfer programs are available on the host and select one
of those to run. For example, to send a file to a host that has a version of KERMIT, you
should start “KERMIT” on the host and tell it to “RECEIVE” the file. KERMIT will
usually display a message such as:
KERMIT READY TO RECEIVE, PLEASE START THE UPLOAD PROCEDURE
At this time you should select SkyLite’s Start File Transfer option. It is important that you
select the correct protocol in SkyLite to match the file transfer program running on the
host.
Multiple File Transfers
If you specified on the host multiple file transfers to be sent to SkyLite, the first file will
be renamed to that specified in the Local File box. Subsequent files will use their own
names. If you specified a full path to a local directory, then all the files received will be
placed in that directory.
Starting File Transfer
To send or receive files:
1. Start the file transfer program on the host; set it to send or receive a file or files.
2. Select SkyLite’s Start File Transfer option from the System menu or click on the
toolbar button shown.
3. Highlight the file transfer Protocol. This must match the host’s protocol.
