text Switch

The text switch can be used with SMT and ZMODEM file transfers to translate the line endings of text-only (ASCII) files to or from the style used by the remote system.

When receiving files, incoming line endings are translated into the line ending appropriate for your operating system.

When sending files, your native line endings are changed (if necessary) into a "generic" line ending (carriage return + linefeed). The remote system's software should translate the "generic" line ending, if necessary, into the line ending appropriate for the remote system.

The text switch can be used with these file transfer commands:
 

kermit send, kermit receive, transmit, receive    ztransmit, and zreceive

Note You may not use the text switch in combination with the recovery switch in a ZMODEM file transfer.
