HI folks;
i foolishly expected that i would continue to have a ppp account
over the summer from school...wrong o rama!
as a result, i found myself rediscovering the sublime joys of cu.
Can i use it to xfer tar files? It seemed to manage ascii patch files
fine,but i get an odd error on the tar.gz that i have sent myself :
128: {41} cat rzsz-3.34.tar.gz | tar xzvf -
incomplete literal tree
gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated
tar: child returned status 1
that is a new one on me! it did it twice, and the file explodes
successfully on the remote system, so i dont think the problem is with
the original gzip file.
cu also hangs hard after i send the file over. i have to kill it from
another xterm. i have no such problem with the two text files i recieved.
any suggestions appreciated.. i imagine that if i can get this fixed,
then things will be fine...
tnx!
