#Download Trouble
3 messages in this thread
Help! I'm so mad you just won't believe. I can't download diddly with Term on
my Amiga! I try to start the transfer but nothing happens. I wait and wait,
and all I get is "Host timeout." Well I know what that means, I just don't know
how to get it to transfer. I have to download all files with my Dad's PC and
the use cross dos on my A4000 to copy it over. So you can imagine the
frustration. Please tell me how to get it to download. I suspect that there
are a few things I'd like to get. I'll need pretty explicit instructions as
I'm new to the whole modem thing.
Thank you
Craig C Randall I'd consider
buying Autopilot where it not for the fact that my wallet is still crying after
purchasing Real3D V2.0. Boy that was expensive!
Craig,
Set TERM to 8bits, No parity, 1 Stop Bit (8n1)
that should take care of the problem.
Don
Craig,
make sure that TERM is set up for 8 bits, No Parity, 1 Stop Bit (8-N-1)
when prompted by CIS:
select the file to download
select a protocol that TERM supports from the list provided by CIS
make sure that TERM is set up to use that protocol
enter a filename for your computer (if so prompted)
ex: ram:<filename>.LHA
if using a protocol other than a version of CIS B, use the file
transfer menu option from within TERM to begin the transfer
I'd stronngly suggest that you spend some time in the Practice Forum (GO
PARACTICE) where you are not charged for connect time and can play with
this until you get it working.
Once all is working well, be sure to check out the demo version of
AutoPilot in library 9 of AmigaVendor (GO AMIGAV)… it automates CIS
messaging and file transfers… you'll need to download AP.LHA and
APDOCS.LHA and then decompress them with LHA which is a self extracting
archive and can be found as LHA138.RUN in library 16 here in AmigaUser
Forum (GO AMIGAU).
