3.13.2 Transfer Files To and From HP3000, UNIX, and VMS Systems

Use Reflection to transfer files between your PC and an HP 3000 (including Classic, MPE/iX, and POSIX), VMS (including OpenVMS and Alpha computers), ULTRIX, Unisys, Linux Console or UNIX system. Or, transfer files to any host or electronic service that supports the FTP, Zmodem, Xmodem, Kermit, or SuperKermit protocols.

Reflection includes its own proprietary protocol, called the WRQ/Reflection protocol. Before you can transfer a file for the first time, your administrator must upload the host file transfer program. Host programs are provided for HP 3000, VAX/VMS (DEC), AXP machines, and UNIX operating systems. A system administrator may have already uploaded the host program; if so, you can skip this step.

To transfer a file

Open the File Transfer dialog box.

Start Reflection and log on to the host computer as usual.

The steps depend on your user interface mode.

When the transfer begins, the File Transfer in Progress window opens. When transferring multiple files, this window displays the name of each file as it is being transferred; when the If file exists option is set to Cancelor there is some other error that stops the transfer, any remaining files matching a wildcard specification are not transferred. To cancel a file transfer in progress, click the Cancelbutton, press ESC, or press SPACEBAR.
