I am trying to install ucopy on my unix system which is tied to a windows system by serial cable. I want to transfer files from the unix system to the winxp system.

I input the command in the manual

doscp -r a:ucopy /usr/bin/ucopy

and get this error

/dev/install :ucopy not found

I am in # mode nad in /usr/bin dir. what am i doing wrong?

Thanks Roger

Do a

dosdir a:

to see what is on the floppy you've made. You didn't say how you made the floppy (since we only ship 32 bit supported versions on CD now you must have done something to make the floppy you are trying to transfer the Unix version of ucopy with).

dosdir a:, displays a list of 16 files which include ucopy exe. I got the flopy several years ago with the original iceten.  It is your flopy ver 4.7, 32 bit

You are NOT looking for ucopy.exe you are looking for something like ucopy.unx or just plain ucopy. It might be in a subdirectory.

You copy it with the command you specified above then set the permissions on the ucopy to 755 (i.e. chmod 755 ucopy)

Then to see if it's working right, do a

ucopy -c

and you should get a copyright message. Version should be 5.37 or thereabouts.

It was in the UNIX  directory which is logcal. Some days I think better than others. All is well, thanks for your help.
