Whew... Just tried that and thought I bricked it...
redid at 115200 and the realtek monitor came up again... 2 lines of CCCC's now and counting...

on the HT ?! or on putty ?!

The "CCCCCC..." means the PBO is just waiting for your file, thats what I meant by checking how to send file with the Ymodem-G protocol using putty. This is the step you are now missing.

LMAO - I was waiting for a prompt...
tried a google of putty and Ymodem-G but only turned up download pages for putty. Was hoping for a prompt with options... hehehe silly NOOBE !!

Putty, HT just sits there and doesn't seem to let me do anything.

too bad I don't have putty to check it, but there should be a "file transfer" menu somewhere

no menu buttons, just a command prompt. Probably have to do some commands for the type of file transfer before the load command.
Looks like I have deeper googling to do on this one. Of course at this point it would be faster to go Globule's route but why stop now when I am having so much fun!?

I have uploaded my own XP Pro HT version (you might have better luck with it), the 3 files was from "C:\Program Files\Windows NT" (might want to put it in the same folder if possible)

Edit: checking the file versions it seems the one I listed on the main thread is actually newer 5.1.2600.2180 as opposed to my version 5.1.2600.0, but at least its a different one ..

Okay, will give this one a try later - have some other things to get done today. BTW, are you running HT in compatability mode on your Win7? If so, what OS are you selecting it to run under?

Not really finding much on the serial file transfer for putty. Maybe it is not primarily designed to do that? IDK

Nope I am running it from my last standing XP laptop.

Thanks aasoror,
I finally got it to work via the other method
I think your suggestion to turn down the buffering (advanced tab) to improve the connection was what did the trick for me. Once I did that it worked just fine.
Went back and tried the HyperTerminal to see if the slower buffering would make it work but it seems my Vista does not want to play with HT.

Perhaps someone more versed in Putty can explain how your method can be done via your method. Advantage being less unhooking of wires and changing network settings. Either way it is pretty easy now that I have it figured out for my system.
