Can one transfer files over a phindows session?

I use a Win ME machine to dial into a QNX4 machine. Besides
the -n/dev/photon option not working (I get a login on a fresh photon
session instead of seeing the host’s display) everything works fine. Being
able to edit files is great but it would be helpful to be able to download
and upload files. Is this possible?

Thanks

Try ‘-n//1/dev/photon’ (or which node number you ever use), this works
for me at least.

I prefer PPP connections in this case: you can use Phindows with ‘-t’ (and
‘-n’ if you want to monitor the main screen) and ftp as well.

The host machine does not have tcp-ip services installed.
