CS5865 Laboratory #1 Notes File Transfer Protocols 1 CS5865 Laboratory #1 Notes File Transfer Protocols - An Overview Dr. B.J. Kurz XMODEM (Ward Christensen, 1970), one of the earliest ‘industry standard’ file transfer protocols in the public domain. HDX operation, character (byte)-oriented, fixed-length 128-byte blocks, 8-bit characters (bytes), 8-bit BCC = sum-mod256, stop-wait ARQ, block counts, binary data capability. Poor error detection capability, typically 95%. data block format: SOH/count/1’s compl. count/ user data/BCC control block format: ACK or NAK (or C), EOT Several later versions of XMODEM are in use: XMODEM-CRC same as regular XMODEM above except uses 8-bit BCC = CRC-8 (some implementations use 16-bit BCC = CRC-16). Better error detection capability, typically 99.97% (for CRC-8). Some versions negotiate the error character generation method: the sender first tries sum- mod256 BCC, then switches to CRC-8 BCC after three unsuccessful attempts indicated by NAKs from the receiver. XMODEM-1K same as XMODEM-CRC except uses 1024-byte blocks for better throughput (fewer line- turn-arounds), but slightly degraded error detection performance. WXMODEM a sliding-window version of XMODEM. Group size is fixed as 4 blocks. Much improved throughput. FDX capable lines needed if continous-ARQ error recovery used. YMODEM (Chuck Forsberg) a variation of XMODEM-1K. Supports two block lengths of 128 bytes and 1024 bytes, uses 2-byte CRC-16, excellent error detection capability, typically 99.99%. KERMIT (Frank de Cruz, Columbia Univ. Comp. Center, N.Y), most popular file transfer protocol, copyrighted, over 200 implementations for various systems. This is a comprehensive 2 remote communications package including terminal emulators, storage-to-storage transfer, not only a file transfer protocol. basically HDX operation, character (byte)-oriented, typically 94-byte blocks (but can be variable), sends 7-bit user characters (printable ASCII, in bytes) only, 8-bit BCC , stop- wait ARQ, sliding-window capability (optionally), block counts, has binary data capability and data compression capability (optionally). Negotiates capabilities and operation modes prior to actual file transfer. Preprocessing of 8-bit binary user data needed by prefixing: printable ASCII character -> send as is 7-bit control character -> # plus printable ASCII (CR -> #M) # is character stuffed as ## 8-bit printable ASCII with bit7=1: & plus printable ASCII (‘A’ with bit7 =1 -> &A) & becomes #& 8-bit control character with bit7=1: &# plus printable ASCII Data compression by Run length coding: use ~ plus 8-bit (repeat count+32) for repeated bytes Data block format: SOH/length+32/count+32/type/user data/BCC Control block format: SOH/ctrl fct/count+32/ACK, etc.../BCC Some other file transfer protocols: ZMODEM a streaming protocol without error recovery, mostly for use with error-correcting modems, excellent throughput. FTP Military-standard file transfer protocol from DOD’s DPA protocol suite. MNP a suite of proprietary protocols for file transfer from Microcom Systems (Microcom Systems Networking Protocols). Used mostly as embedded protocols in modems). Several levels of increasing capabilities and sophistication, MNP1..5..10. MODEM/7 used in CP/M X.PC and BLAST similar to HDLC but for asynchronous transmission mode. ftpsumry.wpd.

  • The Kermit File Transfer Protocol
    THE KERMIT FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL Frank da Cruz February 1985 This is the original manuscript of the Digital Press book Kermit, A File Transfer Protocol, ISBN 0-932976-88-6, Copyright 1987, written in 1985 and in print from 1986 until 2001. This PDF file was produced by running the original Scribe markup-language source files through the Scribe publishing package, which still existed on an old Sun Solaris computer that was about to be shut off at the end of February 2016, and then converting the resulting PostScript version to PDF. Neither PostScript nor PDF existed in 1985, so this result is a near miracle, especially since the last time this book was "scribed" was on a DECSYSTEM-20 for a Xerox 9700 laser printer (one of the first). Some of the tables are messed up, some of the source code comes out in the wrong font; there's not much I can do about that. Also (unavoidably) the page numbering is different from the printed book and of couse the artwork is missing. Bear in mind Kermit protocol and software have seen over 30 years of progress and development since this book was written. All information herein regarding the Kermit Project, how to get Kermit software, or its license or status, etc, is no longer valid. The Kermit Project at Columbia University survived until 2011 but now it's gone and all Kermit software was converted to Open Source at that time. For current information, please visit the New Open Source Kermit Project website at http://www.kermitproject.org (as long as it lasts).

    Imperial College of Science and Technology, University of London, Department of Computing. HIGH EFFICIENCY, CHARACTER-ORIENTED, LOCAL AREA NETWORKS by Martin Cripps This thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and the Diploma of Imperial College of Science and Technology, January 1988. For Clare Attempt the end His reasons are as two grains of wheat but never stand to doubt hid in two bushels of chaff. nothing's so hard You shall seek all day ere you find them but search and when you have found them will find it out they are not worth the search. Robert Herrick (1591-1674) William Shakespeare (1564-1616) 1 ABSTRACT This thesis explores the problem of interconnecting character-oriented devices over local area networks by investigating significant aspects of hardware, software, protocol and operational factors. It proposes effective and efficient solutions which were tested during a full-scale experiment The results of that experiment demonstrate convenient, cost-effective and reliable operation. The novelty of this investigation arises from its character-oriented approach. Much work has been carried out by others on local area networks which transfer blocks of data efficiently, however, a large majority of installed devices operate on a character-by-character basis and will continue so to do for some considerable time. This study is approached through analysis of the low efficiency of international standard networks for this class of device which defines the scope of this work. An original analysis of the potential mechanisms which can be used to give high efficiency and low delay for this class of transfer is then derived.

  • Copying Files with XMODEM What Is XMODEM
    Copying Files With XMODEM What Is XMODEM XMODEM is a simple file transfer protocol which became extremely popular in the early bulletin board system (BBS) market, largely because it was so simple to implement. XMODEM was later replaced by….you guessed it: YMODEM* and then ZMODEM. XMODEM is an old, slow transfer protocol. So why would we ever use it? *We’ll use XMODEM in this lesson, but YMODEM is also available on Cisco devices. I am unsure if YMODEM has any advantage over XMODEM for our purposes. Transferring files via the console port You can used XMODEM to transfer files to a Cisco device when you do not have access to an FTP or TFTP server – but you do have access to the console port -and need to copy files to a Cisco device. There may be emergency situations where this may be your best – or only – method of getting files on a Cisco device. Requirements You’ll need: A terminal emulator which supports XMODEM(or YMODEM) transfers. SecureCRT(shown), Hyperterminal*, and Tera Term Pro all support XMODEM**. Access to the console port of the Cisco device. A PC with the files you want to transfer. * Microsoft – in their infinite wisdom – no longer packages Hyperterminal with Vista and Windows 7. ** I may be wrong, but I don’t believe that Putty supports XMODEM SecureCRT Tera Term Pro HyperTerminal Setting the console port speed By default the console port’s speed is 9600 baud: 2610#sh line con 0 | i Baud Baud rate (TX/RX) is 9600/9600, no parity, 2 stopbits, 8 databits You can change this with the ‘speed’ command under the console line: 2610(config)#line con 0 2610(config-line)#speed ? <0-4294967295> Transmit and receive speeds 2610(config-line)#speed 115200 Très important: You MUST match the console line speed with a speed that your terminal emulator is capable of providing.
