Short: Very basic null modem file copier
Author: Andrew Crowe <andrewcrowe@enterprise.net>
Uploader: Andrew Crowe <andrewcrowe@enterprise.net>
Type: comm/misc
Like a few people, I have more then one Amiga, linked
with a null modem cable (its great for playing Gloom!).
I wanted to copy some stuff from one amiga to the other
without shuffling disks around, so I wanted to use the
serial link.
I tried to use my terminal programs, but they didn't work
with the null modem connection so I checked Aminet
for anything that would do it, but I didn't find
anything usful. (if there is please tell me!)
So I wrote one myself.
(it took 40mins to finish, would have taken 10 if AMOS
wasn't so bugged!)
To use it is simple, run 'FileGet' on the destination
Amiga, and run 'FileSend' on the source Amiga, and select
the file.
The destination file will always be 'RAM:TMP', no
matter what it was called before, and you can only send
one file at a time (you may as well archive all the files
you are sending first, then unpack them on the other Amiga)
It has been tested on:
A1200,6megs,30mhz'020 <---------> A1200,18megs,25mhz'040
so it should work on all Amigas.
Fileswapper was written in AMOSPro V2.0
If I get good feedback from this then I might
make a proper version.
(full source code is available from me)
