File Transfer Switches
File transfer switches let you turn on one or more options as you enter
a file transfer command. A switch consists of the character /
(or - on some platforms) plus one or more letters. The following
file transfer switches can be abbreviated to the fewest unique letters,
for example, query can be abbreviated to q, or nodelete
to nod.
The switches should come after the file transfer command but before
any arguments, for example:
transmit/q *.lst *.dat
zreceive -rec -q my*.*
These are the file transfer switches (not all are supported by all file
transfer commands):
query version
hash nodelete text
contig seq
ZMODEM switches
Date and time switches
