Some versions of TERM and TinyTERM for Windows include the EMAIL file transfer protocol. This allows you to send files via email.

To set up an email transfer, open the Transfer File(s) dialog. In the File Name field, enter the full path to the file you want to send, or click the folder button next to this line to open a browse window.

Once the file is selected, enter the recipient’s email address in the Destination field. Set the Transfer Protocol to EMAIL.

If you set the Transfer Type to ASCII, carriage return/line feed pairs will be converted to single line feeds. This will happen whether you’re sending a text or binary file, so choose the type according to the file you’re sending.

Click the Email button next. In the Email Server line, enter the hostname or IP address of the outgoing email server. Set the Username and Password to your username and password on that server. Set the Email Address to your return address. The Subject line should be self-explanatory.

Click OK to return to Transfer File(s). Click the Send File button to send the email. Any replies will go to the email address specified above.
