#downloading
3 messages in this thread
Hello, out there. I just signed on to CompuServe and I can't figure out how to
down load files to my Amiga 2000. I'm using a Supra 2400 modem and Mind- Link
telecommunications software by Centaur. I've tried XModem and YModem
protocols, but nothing seems to work. Is it because I didn't copy certain
libraries to my libs directory? Did I set the wrong parameters, like hand-
shaking or whatever? Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope.

Ramon-
Set your modem software to CIS B(+). I don't know anything about your
software. If it doesn't list CIS B (or B+), then shoot another message to
this board and someone else will help.
Your settings should be 8-N-1 I think. That's what I used with BaudBandit.
Am now using AutoPilot. If you find yourself using CompuServ/AmigaForums a
lot, AP saves lots of time and hassle.
Look under HELP and INSTRUCTIONS (in Basic Services) for additional
information.
Hope this gets you going.
P.S. Your downloads will end up in RAM (or AP) unless you designate a
path.

I'm not familiar with your software, but you should be able to download
with it, all the same. Be sure you have your serial settings at 8N1.
(Can't transfer 8 bit files unless you are set for 8 bits, you know.)
If you have B protocols available, use them. If not, YModem should be
your next best choice. I suspect your problem is that you have been set
to 7E1 rather than 8N1.
Let us know if I guessed wrong and if you need more help.
You might want to go over to the Practice forum and master the downloading
there. There are no charges while you work in that forum, and things work
there the same as here. To get there, just GO PRACTICE.
