For example, start up umodem on the remote, then do ~+ umodem -options < /dev/culine or the equivalent with the protocol of your choice. This way you can also transfer binary files. (No, I don't know why ~+ is still undocumented, even though it has been in cu for 6 years already. Or why it is not in SVID. So it is possible that your machine's cu doesn't have it. But probably it does.... ) Adam Reed (avr@mtgzz.ATT.COM)
