AccuTermFileTransfer

Examples for file transfers with AccuTerm

This simple example uses the DosSvc program provided with AccuTerm. It allows you to easily transfer data to/from a PC without using ESCape sequences.

DosSvc will download the data in SEND.DATA to SEND.PATH\SEND.FILE, then it will execute CMD, then (assuming you have stored a file with results from CMD, it will upload back to MV the data at GET.PATH\GET.FILE.

Just modify the variables and run.

*   CMD       = DOS COMMAND TO EXECUTE
*   SEND.PATH = DOS DIRECTORY TO SEND SEND.DATA TO BEFORE CMD
*   SEND.FILE = DOS FILE NAME TO SEND SEND.DATA TO BEFORE CMD
*   SEND.DATA = DATA TO SEND TO SEND.FILE
*   GET.PATH  = DOS DIRECTORY TO GET GET.DATA FROM AFTER CMD
*   GET.FILE  = DOS FILE NAME TO GET GET.DATA FROM AFTER CMD
*
* OUTPUT:
*   GET.DATA  = DATA RECEIVED FROM GET.FILE
*
SEND.PATH = "C:\TEMP\[[AT_TRANSFER]]"
SEND.FILE = "TARGET.TXT"
SEND.DATA = "This is the data to be sent to the PC"
CMD = "DIR ":SEND.PATH:" > ": SEND.PATH :"\FILELIST.TXT"
GET.PATH = SEND.PATH
GET.FILE = "FILELIST.TXT"
GET.DATA = ""
*
CALL DOSSVC(CMD, SEND.PATH, SEND.FILE, SEND.DATA, GET.PATH, GET.FILE, GET.DATA)
CRT "File listing:"
FOR ATB = 1 TO DCOUNT(GET.DATA,@AM)
  CRT GET.DATA<ATB>
NEXT ATB
