Use the Application File Transfer Utility (WINPFT.EXE) to transfer
.PVA files between a terminal and a computer running Windows.
Important: Applications that you upload or download with this
utility must be in a .PVA format.
To create a .PVA file for downloading, you must download the .PBA
application to a DOS file from the Application menu of
PanelBuilder. Applications uploaded from the terminal are already
in a .PVA format.
To start the Application File Transfer Utility:
•
In Windows 95, select Application File Transfer Utility from the
PanelBuilder submenu under Programs on the Start menu.

In Windows 3.x, double-click the Application File Transfer
Utility icon in the PanelBuilder program group (WINPFT.EXE).

from either the File menu or tool bar. The dialogs are very similar to
the PanelBuilder Download/Upload dialogs.
