Re: [Gumstix-users] Sending and Receiving Files over Serial on Windows

[Sean R. <rei...@gm...>]

Thanks Brian,
                   I had figured it out but I thought I replied back to the
list. It seems that using Hyperterm you have to install lrzsz which I
cross-compiled on my machine and transferred over. This isn't a requirement
for sending files from linux using kermit. However it may be if you want to
send files back from the gumstix. Then I just used the sz and rz commands in
conjunction with Hyperterm to send and receive the files,

thanks,

Sean
