capture

The capture command gets a file from the remote system using XON/XOFF/EOF protocol. The remote system must be ready and waiting to send a file before using the capture command. These are the steps to get a file from the remote system using capture:
  1. Prepare the remote system to send a file while in talk mode. You must use a file-posting program that uses XON/XOFF/EOF protocol. That means it will use the XON and XOFF characters (control-Q and control-S) for pacing the file transfer, and will send an EOF character (usually control-Z) at the end of the file.
  2. Press the change key to return to Autolog's command mode. Enter:

    3. capture file name

  3. The capture will end when the remote side sends an EOF character (usually control-Z).
  4. If the remote side does not send the EOF character, you can abort the capture command by pressing your cancel key. However, you can't be sure that the remote side completely sent the file unless it sends an EOF character when it's done.
The capture command honors these options:
