S E N D I N G A N D R E C E I V I N G F I L E S Suppose you are calling a BBS to download or upload files. Once you are connected and make the decision to download a file, you need to tell the host computer that you want to download a file. Often, it is as simple as pressing D (for download) from a menu. Then you will be prompted for the complete file name you want to download. Next, the host computer may prompt you for a download protocol. If ZMODEM is given as a choice, select it if your communications software is set for ZMODEM. For a successful download, both your computer and the host computer MUST use the same download protocol. When you are finished, you may need to press to start the download process. Those using a Windows telecommunications program may need to click the mouse on the proper icon to start the download. After the download is finished, the file will then be transferred to your computer in the user specified download directory. When you are off-line, change to your download directory to see the downloaded file. If you wanted to upload a file (send a file to the host computer), first you would select UPLOAD on the host computer's menu. Then, with most DOS-based communications software, you would press to start the process. Before you called the host computer, you would have copied the file that you wanted to send to your specified UPLOAD DIRECTORY on your computer. Then, your communications software can find the file to send to the host computer when you give the commands. A Windows-based communications program may require that you click (the mouse) on an upload icon to start the upload process. ===========================================================
