[Gumstix-users] Transferring Files from the gumstix

[Scott B. <bro...@gm...>]

I am trying to transfer some .txt files from the gumstix to my ubuntu system
without success.  Anyone know of a way to transfer files?  I can upload files
just fine from ubuntu to the gumstix but when I try to go the other direction
nothing occurs.  I've read the wiki and it says:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To receive a file from the Gumstix:

   1. Transmit the file(s) using 'sz', specifying them as arguments.
   2. The terminal, ideally, will detect and accept the transfer automatically. 

If the transfer does nothing, or if you encounter a "Failure executing protocol"
error, while trying to send a file with Zmodem under minicom, you should install
a Y/Z modem. On debian based systems, such as ubuntu, run the following command

# apt-get install lrzsz

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
lrzsz, minicom and ckermit are installed on both systems.

I initially minicom -o into the gumstix serially from ubuntu.  I can upload
files from ubuntu onto the gumstix using Ctl-A S then Browsing the files on
ubuntu and choosing what I need to upload but for some reason I can not download
from the gumstix.

I have tried sz -a *.txt on the gumstix and it says:

sz: garbage on commandline                                                      
Try `sz --help' for more information. 

If I try Ctrl-A R  it will popup a window to choose from z modem, y modem, x
modem, kermit.  If I pick z modem it displays 

rz waiting to receive.Retry 0: Got TIMEOUT   
Retry 0: Got TIMEOUT                                                 
Retry 0: Got TIMEOUT                                                 
Retry 0: Got TIMEOUT 
.. etc...

then blows out.

If anyone has any suggestions it would be appreciated.  

Thanks,
