transfer file & migration tool

I want to tansfer files (big sizes) from a pc to another pc though LPT1 port. Any free software can do this instead of using the laplink LL5 dos version. I face some problems when using this LL5 dos version.
Tnaks a lot.

Hyper Terminal !!!

DOS + free = Simtel

DOS 5.0 - 6.2 included a utility called Interlink.

Pierre - I think it is Hyper Cable. Pain to set up. Also had to share folders. Better to use a DOS utility.

how to use hyper terminal????

I mean what is the cable wiring diagram??? can it coneected by the
LPT1 port????

Interlink comes in MS DOS 5.0 and up but it is a serial connection. IF you can do it in Win9x then Direct Cable Connection allows the use of LPT port..ie a parallel cable.

Another option is goto http://www.download.com and do a search for dos file transfer OR look for FastLynx, FileVan, Fast PC Linker. There are plenty more and most let you use for awhile.

Dick, your probably right to stick with Win9x tools if you can find them, but......
Right out of Dos 6.2 manual

Type: External (6.0 and later)

Syntax:

INTERLINK
INTERLINK [client[:]=[server][:]]

Purpose: Allows you to connect two computers via parallel :nodi: or serial ports; this provides a way for computers to share disks and printer ports (new with DOS Version 6).

Discussion

Before you can use the INTERLINK command, you must install the INTERLINK.EXE device driver.

CLIENT specifies the letter of the client drive that is redirected to a drive on the Interlink server. The drive must be one that was redirected when you started Interlink.

SERVER specifies the letter of the drive on the Interlink server that will be redirected. THE drive must be on listed in the THIS Computer (Server) column of the Interlink server screen. If no drive letter is specified, the client drive will no longer be redirected.

Example

To display the current status of the INTERLINK program, enter the following:

interlink

Oh sorry, our mistake... A wiring diagram is what you specifically asked for in your original post.
For some odd reason, I read it as a request for software...

Here's a direct LINK to a wiring diagram

its an IEEE 1284 cable...cost you more to make then just go buy.

As you can see it's not just a straight through printer cable.

Jay, you're right, but Ron has a good point nonetheless...

Check HERE... A parallel laplink cable from CompUSA is only US$3.29...

Lifetime guarantee, too!...
