 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

This assumes that you have already enabled TFTP on your Windows PC. Create a batch file with the following contents. echo %1 echo %~nx1 tftp -i 10.1.0.232 PUT %1 %~nx1 pause Save it as a batch file where-ever you put this sort of thing and create a desktop shortcut. On the WEBmite, change to the destination directory. Start dragging files onto the shortcut, one at a time. They upload at a pleasing, fast speed without the padding that XMODEM gives. Once you are happy that it works, you can dispense with the ECHO lines and the PAUSE. Linux users should be able to do similar with a shell script but I don't know how to remove the path from the filename in Linux. Jim VK7JH MMedit MMBasic Help |

What does echo %~nx1 do? Need to understand it to convert to Linux :) John |

the %1 is the first parameter passed adding ~nx removes the path leaving the filename with extension. Just what we need on the WEBmite end. ECHO is just there so you can see the results while experimenting. I assume you need a regex expression to do the same in Linux. Regex is not my best friend. Typical output of the above batch file Jim VK7JH MMedit MMBasic Help |

Linux can use basename path to get the last part. I don't have a webmite but likely something like tftp 192.168.0.5 -c put "$1" `basename $1` (if the put command even needs the destination name?) John Edited 2023-07-13 20:28 by JohnS |

Thanks for the hint. In my experiments with Linux, I found I needed the TFTP HPA version of TFTP to get it to play fairly in shell scripts. Based on your suggestion, I would try terminal -x tftp -m binary 192.168.0.5 -c put "%1" 'basename %1' terminal needs to be changed to suit and I advise using binary mode so one script handles text as well as images etc. I also strongly advise using filenames and paths without any spaces in them. Spaces make life "interesting" Jim VK7JH MMedit MMBasic Help |

For Linux the argument needs to be $1 not %1 and the basename part uses back quotes so it's substituted by the result of the basename. I don't know the terminal command (not on my system). John Edited 2023-07-14 07:45 by JohnS |

Thanks for the explanation. This should be better terminal -x tftp -m binary 192.168.0.5 -c put "$1" `basename $1` I had trouble getting tftp to run the command properly unless I opened a new terminal session. On my Mint-Mate, the terminal is called mate-terminal Other systems call it gnome-terminal Some just use terminal If you enter commands at the command prompt, you are in a terminal and there will be a way of opening a new terminal, running a command, then closing the terminal. My Linux knowledge is sod-all so I expect that I am using the wrong terminology. Edit: Changing 'terminal' to 'mate-terminal' (and setting the correct IP) and this script works perfectly.
