I have a need to receive data files from numerous people on a semi-regular
basis, most of the guys have pc's with various file transfer abilities.
My receiving machine will be BSD based, the senders have in the main only
DOS and are not overly experienced users so I want to keep their side as
simple as possible - leaving their existing file transfer packages alone as
much as possible.
Essentially I want to let them log on, select from a range of transfer
protocols (to suite their needs) and send me the data. The range of
protocols covers kermit (I have this), X-modem, Y-modem and Z-modem (I
don't have any of these for BSD/SYSV).
Does any kind soul out there have sources for these protocols, some
exisiting login schema, any hints on where else to ask ?
Many thanks for reading this. Please mail direct if you are able to help.
