Minicom ascii mode file transfer

Fri Mar 11, 2016 4:25 am

I want to transfer file from minicom by ascii file transfer mode. How can i do it? I am able to transfer file using xmodem,ymodem and zmodem. but i want only unidirectional transfer of data and i think ascii file transfer works unidirectional. i can see "ascii" option to transmit file but there is no "ascii" option on receving side. How to receive file in ascii transfer mode on minicom??

I am pretty sure that ASCII transfers are just dumped to the terminal screen of the recipient and it is up to the receiver to manually turn on capture buffer or Copy & Paste text from the screen. It's just a convenient way to send larger amounts of text without having to type it.
Unless specified otherwise my response is based on the latest and fully updated RPiOS Buster w/ Desktop OS.
