Receiving File Using ZModem

All you need to do is starting the zmodem program (like sz, c-kermit, etc.) and issue sending command by host command line. KoalaTerm can detect file transfer request from the host and automatically start receiving. You will see a small dialog box poping up with receiving status update.

Defaultly all received file will be saved into "Received" subdirectory under your KoalaTerm directory (the directory where mkt.exe resides). You can change the directory settings within "File Transfer" page of "KoalaTerm Settings" dialog. The file name will be the same as on host system.

You can also disable the "Automatically Receive" option in the settings page. When disabled, you will have to use "Receive ZModem" menu item from "Transfer" menu to start receiving.

Example: At host command line, you type:

sz myfile

KoalaTerm will automatically receive the content of "myfile" and save "myfile" into "Received" subdirectory.

NOTE: KoalaTerm ZModem transfer requires 8-bit communication. If you are using modem or serial port, make sure you are using 8-bit data length.

Sending File Using ZModem

If your host have "rz" program installed, all you need to do is at the host command line, selecting "Send ZModem" from "Transfer" menu, then choosing your file. KoalaTerm will starts your rz program and send the file content.

In case that your ZModem receiving program doesn't happen to be rz, you can change the "Initial String" in "File Transfer" page of "KoalaTerm Settings" dialog. You can tell KoalaTerm how your host ZModem receiving program can be started. Or, if you prefer, you can manually start your program, then select "Send ZModem" menu item, and go ahead.
