Two computers connected through a network or with a serial link can transfer files using a file transfer utility, for example, the Kermit program. As with other types of connections, BDAT and LIF ASCII files are considered to be binary files, so you must use the binary mode on both the sending and receiving sides of the file transfer when copying these file types. In Kermit, this is done with the "set file type binary" command.
In some instances, data can be transferred between two computers by hooking them together with a serial or IEEE-488 interface and writing a small program on each computer to transfer programs and data between the two. Transfer programs as if they were ASCII data.
