Micro-to-micro Transfers

In addition to allowing file transfers between a micro and a host, ETU allows you to transfer files directly from one micro to another micro. Use the ETU commands PCFROMPC and PCTOPC to transfer files between multiple micros.

The PCFROMPC command allows you to transfer a file from multiple micros to a single micro. The PCTOPC command allows you to transfer a file from one micro to multiple micros.

The PCFROMPC Command

To transfer a file from multiple micros to a single micro, specify the name of the file to be transferred, the device or devices from which the file is being transferred, and the device to which the file is to be transferred.

As with PWRTO3XB above, in order to send files from multiple micros to the same destination directory using PCFROMPC, you must rename any files sent in a first transfer before performing a second transfer.

This procedure is necessary because when files are transferred from multiple micros to a single micro, the resulting file names on the destination micro are the device names from which the data was transferred. For example, a file sent from Device 1 will end up on the receiving micro as a file named device1. A file sent that was from Device 2 would be nameddevice2.

Because of this naming convention, any files sent in a second file transfer (from the same-named micros to the same receiving-micro directory) will end up with exactly the same names as the files sent in the first transfer (device 1, device 2, etc.). As a result, the files sent in the second transfer will overwrite the data sent in the first transfer. To avoid this, use PWRRENAMEB to rename the files resulting from the first transfer.
