Example of ASCII Protocol Template

The following example shows the use of templates for ASCII host file transfer. When sending files, Z and I Emulator for Windows automatically generates a host file name from a personal computer file name, and vice versa. It also generates a transfer type. When receiving files, Z and I Emulator for Windows automatically generates only transfer types, and only for the XMODEM and XMODEM1K protocols.

For more information about templates, refer to Administrator's Guide and Reference.

Following are the definitions of the three default templates. The template is selected from the available choices by matching the name of the file being transmitted or received against each template's file specifications.

Template Number Wildcard specification for PC File Wildcard specification for host File Type
1 *.exe *.* delete
2 *.txt *.* over
3 *.* *.* none

Send Example: If you enter program.exe, Z and I Emulator for Windows selects template 1, and displays program.exe delete in the list box.

Receive Example: (XMODEM AND XMODEM1K only) If you enter program.exe, Z and I Emulator for Windows selects template 1, and displays program.exe delete in the list box.
