Zoc and Transfers

(1/3) > >>

Dan Eicher:
Trying to use Zoc with AOS 5.1

Everytime I try to transfer a file, Zoc just closes.

I've tried with two different types of USB > RS232 cables.

I tested Send and Receive by typing on the keyboard.

What other terminal program should I try?

Steven Levine:
At what point during the upload request process did ZOC terminate?

Did you check for popuplog entries?

There's lots of serial terminal program options.  See

FWIW, ZOC has always been my goto and pretty much trouble free, although it's been a while since I used it for file transfers over serial.

Dave Yeo:
Just to be clear, in the root of your boot volume will be a file called POPUPLOG.OS2 which will contain basic crash supports. If there is one for Zoc, post it.

Dan Eicher:
On the target machine, windows/terra term, I say receive Z modem file.
On the sender machine, AOS 5.1 + Zoc, I say send file, you'll get a warning, if you don't have rts/cts enabled, the transfer might be unreliable.
 As soon as you pick your file, Zoc packs it up.

I'll see if I find anything in the crash log and post it next.
