ztransmit

Use the ztransmit command to send (upload) copies of files from your system to a remote system using ZMODEM protocol. (Use the zreceive command to download files with ZMODEM protocol.)

To use ztransmit, you will usually need to follow these steps:

  1. If the remote system supports the use of the "rz" command to begin receiving with ZMODEM, you can skip to step 5. Otherwise, while in talk mode, start the remote system's ZMODEM file transfer program. (Your documentation for using the remote system, or the remote system operator, will be able to help you with this and with the next two steps.)
  2. Make sure the remote ZMODEM settings are appropriate.
  3. Use the appropriate command(s) to tell the remote system to receive files using ZMODEM protocol.
  4. Press the change key to return to Autolog's command prompt.
  5. Enter the command:
ztransmit file name(s)

You can send one file or a batch of files using the wildcard symbols supported by your system (such as * and ?). You can rename the files as they are sent by using an equal sign:
 

ztransmit ??file.txt
ztransmit *.new = *.old

You can use any of a number of file transfer switches to control how ztransmit behaves or to additionally restrict which files in your batch are transferred:
 

Date and time switches
different existing hash longernewer newer
nodelete query contiguous sequential

These switches control how the file is handled at the receiving end:
 

append nostamp recovery text

These switches control how the file transfer takes place:
 

crc16 encode window

The ztransmit command also supports these options:
 

alarm noerase timeout
