  • Invoke ZMODEM transfer from DOOR program

    From xqtr@21:1/111 to All on Sunday, October 29, 2017 20:20:02
    Hi,

    Is there a way to initiate a zmodem transfer from a door program? From MPL is easy with a command, but if you want to make a DOOR program, how can you
    offer to a user to download files? Is this even possible?

    Thanx... :)

    Yes it is, you would have to configure your door to find your external
    zmodem program or code it in. If you want I can hunt down the part of my
    old pop3 email door that gave the option to download file attachemnts for
    you? It's pascal. Let me know, but as I recall I just shelled out to
    the dsz program....

    Ohhh yes... if you have some Pascal code, i would love to get a look... Probably i will use the external program, but i would like to see how to use pascal to invoke a download. Thank you.

    I just stored the external protocol commadnline in the config file and
    used it as such:

    fdownload:=externprot + ' ' + Sendparam + ' ' + exedir + 'NODE' +
    ItoS(node) + '\' + filenametodownload;
    Exec(GenEnv('COMSPEC'), '/C ' + fdownload);

    Senedparam was the commandline for sending a file to the user
    the file was copied to the doors home directory plus NODEx ie: c:\doors\popemail\node1\money.zip

    from the config file:

    externprot d:\max\doors\tiemail\cexyz2.exe
    SendParam /l57600 /p%h /sz

    Hope this helps!
