By far the best way to transfer files between an Amiga and an Unix box is Matt Dillon's DNET. The "putfiles" command offers exceptional throughput (far, far better than Kermit, even with long packets), can handle transferring entire directory trees, and the DNet protocol includes its own flow control so you don't have to worry about choking your communications line. Plus you don't have to worry about binaries getting munged during the transfer...it works perfectly every time. DNet is available for anonymous FTP from ucbvax in pub/amiga, or you can find it on Fish Disk 145. -- Michael Portuesi / Information Technology Center / Carnegie Mellon University INET: mp1u+@andrew.cmu.edu / BITNET: mp1u+@andrew UUCP: ...harvard!andrew.cmu.edu!mp1u+ "I'm very sorry, Master, but that WAS the backup system" -- Slave
