Advanced Serial Port Terminal allows you to send any file to the remote computer or device over serial port connection using X-modem protocol.
X-modem is a simple file transfer protocol that supports basic error detection methods to ensure that information is not lost or corrupted during transfer.
Advanced Serial Port Terminal X-modem implementation supports X-modem-1K (1024-byte) packet sizes.
Unlike another Advanced Serial Port Terminal option – transferring ASCII files using data streams – this option provides necessary means to send any type of files over communication line. This feature is useful for connecting two computers over null-modem line. Remote host’s responsibility is to be able to receive this file over X-modem protocol.
