macput

 
The macput command sends a file to a Macintosh running MacTerminal.
The File Transfer settings should specify the "Modem7" transfer method
and a "MacTerminal" remote system.  This program is designed for use
with the 0.5 Beta and newer versions of MacTerminal, but includes a
compatibility option for the older -0.15X Almost-Alpha version.

To use this program, log into the unix system using MacTerminal, and
run macput specifying the desired options and one file to be sent.  If
MacTerminal is properly configured, it will recognize that a file is
arriving on the serial line and put up an indicator showing how much
of the file has been sent.  Several Control-X's may be used to force
macput to give up if the transfer fails.

If none of the -rdu flags are specified, macput sends three files to
the mac: file.info, file.data, and file.rsrc.  This is useful for
returning files to the mac which were stored using macget.

The -r flag specifies resource mode.  Either file.rsrc or file will be
sent to the Mac, along with a forged .info file and an empty .data
file.  The file sent becomes the resource fork of the Mac file.

The -d flag specifies data mode.  Either file.data , file.text or file
will be sent to the Mac, along with a forged .info file and an empty
.rsrc file.  The file sent becomes the data fork of the Mac file.
   
The -u flag requests unix mode, which is the same as data mode except
unix newline characters are converted into carriage returns.
Human-readable unix text files sent to the Mac using this option will
be compatible with applications which expect "text only" files.

The -o flag specifies "old" (version -0.15X) MacTerminal compatibility
mode.  You must manually disable XON/XOFF flow control in this version
to perform file transfer; this is done automatically in the newer
versions.
