This write-up is available from the Customer Assistance Center, located on the second floor of the Computing Commons, CC202. Upload refers to taking a file from your local system and transferring it to a 'Host' system at ASU, while download refers to taking a file from a 'Host' system at ASU to your local system. To transfer a binary file correctly, a special command must be used. We suggest that you always issue the binary file transfer command with the transfer of all files. When a command is successful the prompt return without and error message.
Type send filename.
If you are unsure of the exact name of the file, type ls at the prompt. This will list all of the files currently on your general account. Go to the Transfer menu and select Receive File. A window will open asking for the location to receive the file and the protocol to use. Make sure that the protocol used is Kermit.
