receive
Use the receive command to get (download) a copy of a file from
remote system using SMT protocol. The remote system
needs to have a copy of the Slave program (included
in the Autolog release for Windows/DOS, UNIX, and AMOS platforms). (To
upload a copy of a file from the remote system using SMT protocol, use
the transmit command.)
At Autolog's command prompt, enter:
receive file name
That's all you need to do: Autolog will automatically start Slave on
the remote system and the file transfer will begin.
You can rename the local copy of the file by using the format:
receive new local file=existing remote
file
You can also send a batch or group of files by using wildcarding. For
example:
receive ??file.txt
or
receive *.new=my*.txt
File Locations
Autolog looks in the directory you're currently in on the remote system
for the files you want to get and puts the files to your current local
directory, unless you specify a different directory path. Include the path
for files that aren't in the current directory:
receive c:\usr\myfiles\*.*=d:\usr\yourfiles\*.txt
To get a file from one directory on the remote system to another directory
on your system, you must include the path for both files. If you give only
one path, that path will be used for both the local and remote files.
Files Specifications That Aren't Valid Locally
If you need to get a file with a name that is not valid on your local system,
or if you need to indicate a path that doesn't exist or isn't valid on
your local system, use two equal signs (==):
receive c:/usr/myfiles/toomanycharacters.new==LIB:file.old
You can receive only one file at a time using "=="
syntax.
Options and Switches

alarm nocompress

You can also use these switches with the receive command to
restrict which files in a batch are received:
