18-4 Frame Relay Module 4.0 User Guide, Rev 01Transferring Files and Updating SoftwareRemote File TransferThis operation copies a file from one FRM to another.This operation requires either physical X.25 ports or logical X.25 (onphysical frame relay) ports on each device.Before a file transfer is performed to or from this node, make sure a FileTransfer ID is specified in Node Defaults.Press [B] at the On-Line Node Operations Menu (or [B], [A], [B] from the Main Menu).When prompted, enter:l File Transfer ID and File Transfer Pwd (password) of the remote node to whichyou are copying the file.l Source File Name (the existing name of the file you want to transfer).l Destination File Name.The transfer process is as follows:1. The originating node will send a message that includes a request for the file nameand size.2. The remote node will check to make sure there is enough disk space to accept thefile; if not, the connection will be cleared and a corresponding message displayed.3. If there is enough disk space, the file will be transferred, and stored in the remotenode under a temporary file name until the node verifies that the file is theexpected size. If not, the temporary file will be deleted.As a file transfer progresses, you can press [F4] at any time to abort the transferand clear the connection.4. If the temporary file is the expected size, any existing file with the same name willbe deleted and the temporary one will be renamed the destination file name thatwas specified.5. Once the transfer is complete, the sending node will clear the connection.
