Using TinyTERM 3.3 and the ZMODEM file transfer protocol, you may find a situation where you can download a file from the host to the PC, but not upload from the PC to the host. When that happens, do the following in TinyTERM:
- Click on the Transfer button.
- Enter the required information.
- Select ZMODEM as the transfer protocol, if it’s not already set.
- Click the Settings button.
- Place a check in the box next to Automatic Data Compression.
- Click the Advanced button.
- Set the ZMODEM/WTERMCRC Packet Size to 4096 or 8192.
- Set the ZMODEM/WTERMCRC Window Size to match the packet size.
- Click OK twice.
You should now be able to transfer files both directions.
If the PC is using the NTFS file system, the above instructions may not work when downloading files. It’s not just TinyTERM that’s affected by this. ZMODEM does not always write well to NTFS drives, regardless of the application you’re using.
CR 241, NTFS
