rz send not working??

[nilknarf]

I've sent a few files successfully, but i'm having alot of trouble with this one file.

I keep trying to send sc.tcl using Terra Term (also hyperterminal) and it appears to send ok, but when i check the directory afterwards, there is no file there. I've tried several different directories but to no avail. I'm giving the rz command and then using z modem. Bash is working fine otherwise.

Any ideas?

Are you connected via serial port or ethernet? TeraTerm file transfers using Zmodem only works via serial port. If you're trying to use ethernet connection, use an FTP transfer program like CuteFTP.

If you are using serial connection, I bet your speed is too high. Use 57600 instead of 115200.

It's a serial connection. It's been set at 115,200, but I've also tried 57,600. I'll screw around with it some more and post more details.

On an unrelated note....can someone tell me an easy way to verify that Kravens xtreme upgrade was installed properly?

[nilknarf]

ok. here's exactly what happens

1. at the bash I enter: rz <enter>
2. then i go file>send file>zmodem>sc.tcl>open
3. the screen flashes and the file appears to transfer (i have also tried entering a value in the transmit delay field so I can watch the transfer)
4. the bash changes to this wierd set of characters: Š**B0100000023be50ive.**B0100000023be50
and doesn't respond for a few minutes
5. after a while the bash comes back and i enter: ls <enter> and the file is not shown
6. when i try to make the file executable, i get a file not found message

I've tried every baud rate and every type of flow control with no luck. No luck with hyperterminal either. I can move around the directories fine and every other bash command seems fine....I just can't successfully send a file ever since I installed Kraven's xtreme upgrade. Could I have somehow set the drive so that it can't be written to?

Any input will be greatly appreciated.

Just try to Send the file with Zmodem. Don't even bother with the rz on the tivo, and see what happens

You're using the wrong menu selections. See this post and pay attention to step #4 ===> http://dealdatabase.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&postid=56063#post56063

Woo hoo! Got it finally. I created a new directory /var/hack and I was able to transfer the file into that directory. I also used the other file options as outlined in the above referenced step 4, although I had tried that earlier too. Anyway, thanks alot to everyone that replied.

I ran Kraven's xtreme update I see sc.tcl in the /tvbin directory. I replaced it with PGM's new sc.tcl file. I now I ca not run it. When I chmod 777 the file and then try and run it using ./sc.tcl I get File not found. Any suggestions?

You must be in the directory the file is in to use the command ./

If you put it in tvbin, you can run it by specifying the full path, /tvbin/sc.tcl

If that still doesn't work, your file got munged somewhere along the line, try transferring it again, and make sure you don't open it in a DOS or Windows text editor.
