I imagine you could get them to work over telnet, but unless you are using a serial connection (modem or RS232) you will likely find ftp and its ilk more satisfying. And if you really do need to use a serial line connection, C-Kermit may be more versatile than simple sz/rz. -- -John (john(a)os2.dhs.org)

I don't have a telnet server up to connect to, so I cant test it, and never have, but I thought telnet allowed you to log on and get a command line interface to the system. Can you telnet in, and get a command line, or am I totally confused.

FTP *does* tell you if the transfer was successful. What makes you think it doesn't? >md5sum on each end comes in handy. Most "archive formats" (e.g., ZIP, TAR, etc) have internal integrity checking - i.e, you can test to see that the archive made it over OK. The point is that you use ftp to get whatever other, better, tools you need to do the job, onto the target machine. Then you use the other, better, tools to do the job. If it were me, the first thing I'd bring over is "netcat". -- (This discussion group is about C, ...) Wrong. It is only OCCASIONALLY a discussion group about C; mostly, like most "discussion" groups, it is off-topic Rorsharch [sic] revelations of the childhood traumas of the participants...

I've heard that it is possible to wedge some other protocol into telnet (e.g., sz/rz) and transfer files that way, but as the goal here seems to be extreme simplicity, it seems we probably can't go down that path. -- > No, I haven't, that's why I'm asking questions.
