I am assuming that you mean that the file transfer will be for the serial 
port as the
parallel port comes with file transfer software.  In that case, I have 
written a terminal
program for the Portfolio with XModem file transfer capabilities.  It was 
being distributed
as shareware on CI$, but I am working with Atari, and I believe they will 
make it available 
for free.
