Micro-to-micro Transfers
In addition to allowing file transfers between a micro and a host, ETU
allows you to transfer files directly from one micro to another micro.
Use the ETU commands PCFROMPC and PCTOPC to transfer files between
multiple micros.
The PCFROMPC command allows you to transfer a file from multiple micros
to a single micro. The PCTOPC command allows you to transfer a file from
one micro to multiple micros.
The PCFROMPC Command
To transfer a file from multiple micros to a single micro, specify the
name of the file to be transferred, the device or devices from which the
file is being transferred, and the device to which the file is to be
transferred.
As with PWRTO3XB above, in order to send files from multiple micros to
the same destination directory using PCFROMPC, you must rename any files
sent in a first transfer before performing a second transfer.
This procedure is necessary because when files are transferred from
multiple micros to a single micro, the resulting file names on the
destination micro are the device names from which the data was
transferred. For example, a file sent from Device 1 will end up on the
receiving micro as a file named device1. A file sent that was from Device
2 would be nameddevice2.
Because of this naming convention, any files sent in a second file
transfer (from the same-named micros to the same receiving-micro
directory) will end up with exactly the same names as the files sent in
the first transfer (device 1, device 2, etc.). As a result, the files
sent in the second transfer will overwrite the data sent in the first
transfer. To avoid this, use PWRRENAMEB to rename the files resulting
from the first transfer.
