post

The post command sends a file to the remote system using XON/XOFF/EOF protocol. The remote system must be ready and waiting to capture a file before using the post command. The steps to send a file to the remote system using post are:
  1. Prepare the remote system to receive a file while in talk mode. You can use many different types of file-capturing programs. post will work best if the remote software can use 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 close the file when it receives the EOF character (usually control-Z).
  2. Press the change key to return to Autolog's command mode. You will almost always want to use the delay option. You may also need to use the stall option to pace the file transfer.
  3. While still in command mode, enter the command:

    4. post file name

  4. When the file is completely transferred, Autolog will send the EOF character (usually control-Z).
If the remote system does not close the file and end the transfer on receipt of the EOF character, press the change key to return to talk mode and end the remote program manually.

Most problems using post arise because Autolog outputs the characters in the file far too fast for many remote text-capturing programs. post honors these options to slow down and pace the file transfer:
