Subject:   tip transfer protocol?
Message-ID:  <3CB4F3AB.81F8554D@space.com>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I'm working on a small embedded device (based on a PIC16F877) that talks to my
PC over a serial port. So far I've been using tip(1) to interface with the board
(just a simple menu) but now I need to transfer small text files to the board
and it isn't fast enough to take the file in one chunk. It looks like I need an
(extremely) lightweight transfer protocol. 

The tip(1) man page briefly mentions a tandem protocol, as well as echocheck and
synchronizing using end-of-line markers. Where can I find more info on this? Am
I even looking in the right place? I tried google, but it only found a million
versions of the man page.

Thanks,
Brandon
