To receive a file from a remote computer

  1. Open HyperTerminal.

  2. Connect to the remote computer using either a new connection or using a saved connection. Alternatively, you can wait for a call and have the remote computer connect to your computer.

  3. Use the remote computer's modem file transfer software to send the file to your computer.

  4. On the Transfer menu on your computer, click Receive File.

  5. In the Place received file in the following folder box, type the path of the folder in which you want to save the downloaded file.

  6. In the Use receiving protocol list, click the protocol that the remote computer is using to send the file, and then click Receive.

Notes

  • Performing this task does not require you to have administrative credentials. Therefore, as a security best practice, consider performing this task as a user without administrative credentials.

  • To open HyperTerminal, click Start, point to All programs, point to Accessories, point to Communications, and then click HyperTerminal.

  • HyperTerminal is not installed by default. For information on how to install HyperTerminal, see Related Topics.

  • You must have an active HyperTerminal session connected prior to performing this procedure.

  • If the remote computer is transferring data using the Zmodem protocol and you have allowed remote host initiated file transfers, you do not need to perform this procedure because the Zmodem protocol causes HyperTerminal to receive the file automatically.

    Be aware that the automatic download feature of the Zmodem protocol can pose a security risk by allowing remote users to send files to your computer without your explicit permission. To avoid this risk, you must select a protocol other than Zmodem in the Receive File dialog box or clear the Allow remote host initiated file transfers check box on the Settings tab of Connection Properties.

  • Incoming files might contain viruses or malicious programs that could compromise or destroy data on your computer. To mitigate this risk, use virus scanning software and ensure that the file is coming from a reliable and trusted source.

  • You can save the receiving folder and the protocol that are the recommended defaults by following these same procedures, but click Close instead of Receive in the last step.

Information about functional differences

  • Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
