Hi,
I recently got an ethernet card (Apples) for my IIcx, and we are in the
process of transferring a DBMS system to a Zenith 33mghz/with SCO Xenix
... Anyway after working on "C" source code for a week and 150 shell
scripts, I decided to dump it all down to the MAC with ftp (as the
tape backup on the machine isn't up yet). I logged in to the Zenith
and ftp'ed to the MAC. Then set prompting off positioned both
machines in the proper directories, and did an 'mput *'... well
it seemed to work fine, but on closer inspection, some files were
created with zero bytes! (they were on the MAC, but Empty). So
I guess the question is: What gives? is the ftp process with
NCSA telnet reliable? I didn't see any error messages, but did eventually
get all of the files downloaded.
I even suspect that at least one file was only partially transferred.
Has anyone encountered problems of this sort?
(I have a IIcx 5/80 w/ Apple Ethernet card - the zenith is loaded
with both ram and hard disk capacity (we only use about 10% so far,
we just started moving things over)
