ZMODEM Protocol

ZMODEM is a popular file transfer protocol commonly supported on PCs. The protocol provides error correction and is faster than XMODEM and often faster than YMODEM. It allows you to use wildcard file specifications to transfer groups or batches of files. ZMODEM offers many sophisticated options, such as crash recovery, and ways to select which files to transfer based on their date, size, and/or hash.

Use the ztransmit command to send (upload) files to the remote system and zreceive to get (download) files from the remote system using ZMODEM protocol.

The remote system must be equipped with software that supports ZMODEM protocol. You must have a connection to the remote system that allows passing all 8-bit characters transparently to use ZMODEM protocol.
