.SH DESCRIPTION
.B Sz
uses the ZMODEM, YMODEM or XMODEM error correcting protocol to send
one or more files over a dial-in serial port to a variety of programs running under
PC-DOS, CP/M, Unix, VMS, and other operating systems.

While
.I rz
is smart enough to be called from
.I cu(1),
very few versions of
.I cu(1)
are smart enough to allow
.I sz
to work properly.
Unix flavors of Professional-YAM are available for such dial-out application.


.B Sz
sends one or more files with ZMODEM protocol.

ZMODEM
greatly simplifies file transfers compared to XMODEM.
In addition to a friendly user interface, ZMODEM
provides Personal Computer and other users
an efficient, accurate, and robust file transfer method.

ZMODEM provides complete
.B "END-TO-END"
data integrity between application programs.
ZMODEM's 32 bit CRC catches errors
that sneak into even the most advanced networks.

Advanced file management features include
AutoDownload (Automatic file Download initiated without user intervention),
Display of individual and total file lengths and transmission time estimates,
Crash Recovery,
selective file transfers,
and preservation of
exact file date and length.

Output from another program may be piped to
.B sz
for transmission by denoting standard input with "-":
.ce
ls -l | sz -
The program output is transmitted with the filename sPID.sz
where PID is the process ID of the
.B sz
program.
If the environment variable
.B ONAME
is set, that is used instead.
In this case, the Unix command:
.ce
ls -l | ONAME=con sz -ay -
will send a "file" to the PC-DOS console display.
The
.B -y
option instructs the receiver to open the file for writing unconditionally.
The
.B -a
option
causes the receiver to convert Unix newlines to PC-DOS carriage returns
and linefeeds.


.B Sb
batch sends one or more files with YMODEM or ZMODEM protocol.
The initial ZMODEM initialization is not sent.
When requested by the receiver,
.B sb
supports
.B YMODEM-g
with "cbreak" tty mode, XON/XOFF flow control,
and interrupt character set to CAN (^X).
.B YMODEM-g
(Professional-YAM
.B g
option)
increases throughput over error free channels
(direct connection, X.PC, etc.)
by not acknowledging each transmitted sector.

On
.SM Unix
systems, additional information about the file is transmitted.
If the receiving program uses this information,
the transmitted file length controls the exact number of bytes written to
the output dataset,
and the modify time and file mode
are set accordingly.


.B Sx
sends a single
.I file
with
.B XMODEM
or
.B XMODEM-1k
protocol
(sometimes incorrectly called "ymodem").
The user must supply the file name to both sending and receiving programs.

If
.B sz
is invoked with $SHELL set and iff that variable contains the
string
.I "rsh"
or
.I "rksh"
(restricted shell),
.B sz
operates in restricted mode.
Restricted mode restricts pathnames to the current directory and
PUBDIR (usually /usr/spool/uucppublic) and/or subdirectories
thereof.


The fourth form sends a single COMMAND to a ZMODEM receiver for execution.
.B Sz
exits with the COMMAND return value.
If COMMAND includes spaces or characters special to the shell,
it must be quoted.


The fifth form sends a single COMMAND to a ZMODEM receiver for execution.
.B Sz
exits as soon as the receiver has correctly received the command,
before it is executed.


The sixth form (sz -TT)
attempts to output all 256 code combinations to the terminal.
In you are having difficulty sending files,
this command lets you see which character codes are being
eaten by the operating system.


If
.B sz
is invoked with stdout and stderr to different datasets,
Verbose is set to 2, causing frame by frame progress reports
to stderr.
This may be disabled with the
.B q
option.
.PP
The meanings of the available options are:
.PP
.PD 0
.TP
.B \\\\
(backslash). Force the next option letter to upper case.
.TP
.B +
Instruct the receiver to append transmitted data to an existing file
(ZMODEM only).
.TP 
.B 2
use two stop bits (if possible). Do not use this unless you know
what you are doing.
.TP
.B 8
Use 8KB blocksize (incompatible with standard zmodem) (ZMODEM only).
.TP
.B a
Convert NL characters in the transmitted file to CR/LF.
This is done by the sender for XMODEM and YMODEM, by the receiver
for ZMODEM.
.TP
.B b
(ZMODEM) Binary override: transfer file without any translation.
.TP
.B "c COMMAND"
Send COMMAND to the receiver for execution, return with COMMAND\'s exit status.
.TP
.B C N
Retry to send command N times (default: 11).
.TP
.B d
Change all instances of "." to "/" in the transmitted pathname.
Thus, C.omenB0000 (which is unacceptable to MSDOS or CP/M)
is transmitted as C/omenB0000.
If the resultant filename has more than 8 characters in the stem,
a "." is inserted to allow a total of eleven.

This option enables the 
.B f
option.
.TP
.B e
Escape all control characters;
normally XON, XOFF, DLE, CR-@-CR, and Ctrl-X are escaped.
.TP
.B f
Send Full pathname.
Normally directory prefixes are stripped from the transmitted
filename.

This is also turned on with to 
.B d
option.
.TP
.B h
give help.
.TP
.B "i COMMAND"
Send COMMAND to the receiver for execution, return Immediately
upon the receiving program's successful recption of the command.
.TP
.B k
(XMODEM/YMODEM) Send files using 1024 byte blocks
rather than the default 128 byte blocks.
1024 byte packets speed file transfers at high bit rates.
(ZMODEM streams the data for the best possible throughput.)
.TP
.B "L N"
Use ZMODEM sub-packets of length N.
A larger N (32 <= N <= 1024) gives slightly higher throughput,
a smaller N speeds error recovery.
The default is 128 below 300 baud, 256 above 300 baud, or 1024 above 2400 baud.
.TP
.B "l N"
Wait for the receiver to acknowledge correct data every
.B N
(32 <= N <= 1024)
characters.
This may be used to avoid network overrun when XOFF flow control is lacking.
.TP
.B n
(ZMODEM) Send each file if
destination file does not exist.
Overwrite destination file if
source file is newer than the destination file.
.TP
.B N
(ZMODEM) Send each file if
destination file does not exist.
Overwrite destination file if
source file is newer or longer than the destination file.
.TP
.B o
(ZMODEM) Disable automatic selection of 32 bit CRC.
.TP
.B O
Disable read timeout handling. This makes lsz hang if the other side
doesn't send anything, but increases performance (not much) and
decreases system load (reduces number of system calls by about 50
percent).

Use this option with care.
.TP
.B p
(ZMODEM) Protect existing destination files by skipping transfer if the
destination file exists.
.TP
.B q
Quiet suppresses verbosity.
.TP
.B R
Restricted mode: restricts pathnames to the current directory and
PUBDIR (usually /usr/spool/uucppublic) and/or subdirectories
thereof.
.TP
.B r
(ZMODEM) Resume interrupted file transfer.
If the source file is longer than the destination file,
the transfer commences at the offset in the source file that equals
the length of the destination file.
.TP
.B S
enable timesync protocol support. See timesync.doc for further 
information.

This option is incompatible with standard zmodem. Use it with care.
.TP
.B "t tim"
Change timeout to
.I tim
tenths of seconds.
.TP
.B u
Unlink the file after successful transmission.
.TP
.B U
Turn off restricted mode (this is not possible if running under a 
restricted shell).
.TP
.B "w N"
Limit the transmit window size to N bytes (ZMODEM).
.TP
.B v
Verbose output to stderr. More v's generate more output.
.TP
.B y
Instruct a ZMODEM receiving program to overwrite any existing file
with the same name.
.TP
.B Y
Instruct a ZMODEM receiving program to overwrite any existing file
with the same name,
and to skip any source files that do have a file with the same
pathname on the destination system.
.PD
.SH SECURITY
Restricted mode restricts pathnames to the current directory
and PUBDIR (usually /var/spool/uucppublic)
and/or subdirectories thereof, and disables remote command
execution.

Restricted mode is entered if the 
.B R
option is given or if lsz detects that it runs under a restricted
shell or if the environment variable ZMODEM_RESTRICTED is found.

Restricted mode can be turned of with the 
.B U
option if not running under a restricted shell.

.SH ENVIRONMENT
.TP
.B ZNULLS
may be used to specify the number of nulls to send before a ZDATA frame.
.TP
.B SHELL
lsz recognizes a restricted shell if this variable includes
.I "rsh"
or
.I "rksh"
.TP
.B ZMODEM_RESTRICTED
lrz enters restricted mode if the variable is set.
.TP
.B TMPDIR
If this environment variable is set its content is used as the 
directory to place in the answer file to a 
.B timesync 
request.
.B TMP
Used instead of TMPDIR if TMPDIR is not set. If neither TMPDIR nor
TMP is set /tmp will be used.
.SH EXAMPLES
.ne 7
.B "ZMODEM File Transfer"
(Unix to DSZ/ZCOMM/Professional-YAM)
.br
.B "% sz \-a *.c"
.br
This single command transfers all .c files in the current Unix directory
with conversion
.RB ( \-a )
to end of line conventions appropriate to the receiving environment.
With ZMODEM AutoDownload enabled, Professional-YAM  and ZCOMM
will automatically recieve
the files after performing a security check.

.br
.B "% sz \-Yan *.c *.h"
.br
Send only the .c and .h files that exist on both systems,
and are newer on the sending system than the
corresponding version on the receiving system, converting Unix to
DOS text format.
.br
.B
$ sz -\\Yan file1.c file2.c file3.c foo.h baz.h
.R
(for VMS)
.br

.B "ZMODEM Command Download"
(Unix to Professional-YAM)
.br
 cpszall:all
    sz \-c "c:;cd /yam/dist"
    sz \-ya $(YD)/*.me
    sz \-yqb y*.exe
    sz \-c "cd /yam"
    sz \-i "!insms"
.br
This Makefile fragment uses
.B sz
to issue commands to Professional-YAM to change current disk and directory.
Next,
.B sz
transfers the
.I .me
files from the $YD directory, commanding the receiver to overwrite the old files
and to convert from Unix end of line conventions to PC-DOS conventions.
The third line transfers some
.I .exe
files.
The fourth and fifth lines command Pro-YAM to
change directory and execute a PC-DOS batch file
.I insms .
Since the batch file takes considerable time, the
.B "\-i"
form is used to allow
.B sz
to exit immediately.

.B "XMODEM File Transfer"
(Unix to Crosstalk)
.br
%
.B "sx \-a foo.c"
.br
.B "ESC"
.br
.B "rx foo.c"
.br
The above three commands transfer a single file
from Unix to a PC and Crosstalk with
.I sz
translating Unix newlines to DOS CR/LF.
This combination is much slower and far less reliable than ZMODEM.
.SH ERROR MESSAGES
"Caught signal 99"
indicates the program was not properly compiled,
refer to "bibi(99)" in rbsb.c for details.

.SH "VMS VERSION"
The VMS version does not support wild cards.
Because of VMS DCL, upper case option letters muse be represented
by \\ proceding the letter.

The current VMS version does not support XMODEM, XMODEM-1k, or YMODEM.

VMS C Standard I/O and RMS may interact to modify the file contents.
.SH FILES

sz.c, crctab.c, vrzsz.c, zm.c, zmodem.h, vmodem.h, vvmodem.c,
VMS source files.

/tmp/szlog stores debugging output (sz -vv)
(szlog on VMS).
.SH "TESTING FEATURE"
The command "sz -T file"
exercises the
.B Attn
sequence error recovery by commanding
errors with unterminated packets.
The receiving program should complain five times about
binary data packets being too long.
Each time
.B sz
is interrupted,
it should send a ZDATA header followed by another defective packet.
If the receiver does not detect five long data packets,
the
.B Attn
sequence is not interrupting the sender, and the
.B Myattn
string in
.B sz.c
must be modified.

After 5 packets,
.B sz
stops the "transfer" and
prints the total number of characters "sent" (Tcount).
The difference between Tcount and 5120 represents the number of characters
stored in various buffers when the Attn sequence is generated.
.SH BUGS
Calling
.I sz
from most versions of cu(1) doesn't work because cu's receive process
fights
.I sz
for characters from the modem.

On at least one BSD system, sz would hang or exit when it got within
a few kilobytes of the end of file.
Using the "-w 8192" flag fixed the problem.
The real cause is unknown, perhaps a bug in the kernel TTY output routines.

Programs that do not properly implement the specified file transfer protocol
may cause
.I sz
to "hang" the port for a minute or two.
This problem is corrected by using
ZCOMM, Pro-YAM, or other program with a correct implementation
of the specified protocol.

Many programs claiming to support YMODEM only support XMODEM with 1k blocks,
and they often don't get that quite right.

XMODEM transfers add up to 127 garbage bytes per file.
XMODEM-1k and YMODEM-1k transfers use 128 byte blocks
to avoid extra padding.

YMODEM programs use the file length transmitted at the beginning of the
transfer to prune the file to the correct length; this may cause problems with
source files that grow during the course of the transfer.
This problem does not pertain to ZMODEM transfers, which preserve the exact
file length unconditionally.

Most ZMODEM options are merely passed to the receiving program;
some do not implement all these options.

Circular buffering and a ZMODEM sliding window should be used
when input is from pipes instead of acknowledging frames each 1024 bytes.
If no files can be opened,
.B sz
sends a ZMODEM command to echo a suitable complaint;
perhaps it should check for the presence of at least one accessible file before
getting hot and bothered.
The test mode leaves a zero length file on the receiving system.

A few high speed modems have a firmware bug that drops characters when the
direction of high speed transmissson is reversed.
The environment variable ZNULLS may be used to specify the number of nulls to
send before a ZDATA frame.
Values of 101 for a 4.77 mHz PC and 124 for an AT are typical.
