Tar issues! HELP!
Hey everyone. I'm having issues with my Tar files when I send them to my windows machine via serial. Everytime the file seems to send fine but ends up corrupt on the windows end. I'm using the tar -cvf /u0/dnc/*.gc1 gc1.tar command. If anyone knows what might be the issue I would appreciate it. Maybe it's getting corrupt through transfer? I don't know. I'm only transferring the files a 9600baud. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Make sure you send them in binary mode, not ascii mode.

Hmm... I'm sending them using Kermit to Hyperterminal. How do I set it up in Kermit to send as bin and not ascii?
