R
Receive File(s)
This option specifies that files are to be received. With Xmodem
protocol, the option must be specified whenever you wish to receive a
file. The option can be included in the XFER_ARGS environment
variable, forcing Xmodem protocol to default to receiving instead of
sending files.
With Zmodem, receive is the default if no file is specified on the
command line (for example, XFER /z). The name of the file is sent by
the transmitting side before the file is transferred, and the file is received
with that path and name. If you wish to receive a file under Zmodem
with a different name from the sender’s original filename, you can use
the R option to force Zmodem into receive mode and then specify a
filename. (See the “filename(s)” option for information on specifying
filenames.) Using the R option without a filename is the same as not
using the option at all—the sender’s filename (and path) is used.
Note: The last transfer option, R or T, on the command line controls
whether to transmit or receive for the session.
