5 Using HPRA to Manage Server Operations

104

NOTE

If you have a Utility Partition installed on the server, you can transfer files

directly to it via Console Redirection. Select Remote File Transfer from the
HP Remote Assistant Utilities menu on the Utility Partition. See "Sending
Files" and "Receiving Files" below for details on how to transfer files.

HP Remote Assistant supports the ZModem and XModem file transfer protocols.

When you choose DOS File Transfer from the Main Menu, HP Remote Assistant
displays a menu of file transfer options:

1. Send files to the server
2. Receive a file from the server

NOTE

For DOS file transfer to work properly, the server must be in DOS mode and
the DOS File Transfer Utility (HPRAXFER.EXE) must reside in the current
directory or in the DOS path.

Sending Files

When you choose "Send files to the server," HP Remote Assistant asks you to select a
file transfer protocol; ZModem (the default) or XModem. Type Z or X and press Enter.
With the protocol specified, use your terminal emulation software to send a file to the
server. For example, in Terminal Plus, you would choose Send Binary File from the
Transfers menu.

The ZModem option stores the file in the server's current directory. If you specify the
XModem protocol, you will also have to provide a path and file name for the
destination.

Receiving Files

When you choose "Receive a file from the server," HP Remote Assistant asks you to
enter a path and filename so that a selected file can be retrieved from the server. Type
in the path and filename and press Enter. HP Remote Assistant then prompts you to
select a file transfer protocol; ZModem or XModem. Type Z or X and press Enter.
With the protocol specified, you are ready to receive a file from the server. In
Terminal Plus, now choose Receive Binary File from the Transfers menu.
