Configure minicom with minicom -s
and enter the “File transfer protocols” section. You can add a section there called “binary”, point it at your file, and specify:
Field | Value |
---|---|
Name | Binary |
Program | bin-xfer -o %l |
Name | Y |
U/D | U |
FullScr | Y |
IO-Red | N |
Multi | N |
Thank you for this resource, I appreciate your work and time.
I have a quick question, I downloaded minicom trough homebrew and then I created a file called
bin-xfer
in the same directory as theascii-xfr
file, I made sure to give the new one the same execution permissions as theascii-xfr
file and made sure thebin-xfer
works by simply calling it from the terminal.The issue is that after I create the custom file transfer protocol in minicom and then run it, something goes wrong and it simply does not do anything. Do you by any chance have an idea why this might be happening?
