Software Updates > PT2000/TopGun to download the UNIX transer file (UNIXUPLD.zip unzips to UPDTFER.exe).

To install the program, use the UNIX tar command to copy the UPDTFER file from the supplied floppy disk or website download to the UNIX workstation’s hard drive.

Use the following command syntax to transfer files with updtfer:

updtfer device filename -options

where

device = the serial port device name, such as /dev/tty1a

filename = the name of the file to transfer

options = one or more transfer options, preceded by a hyphen (-)
