non ASCII files


Hi

We have a site where we need to send files from HP9000/L2000 server
to users connected serially and running terminal emulation.
We tried 'cu' but it only works with ASCII files; Is there a way to send
non ASCII files in such environment? Please advise.
Thanks

Re: non ASCII files

You could uuencode the binaries to 7-Bit ASCII.
Uuencode once (before MIME) was a popular tool to send such binaries as email attachments.
See the manpage of uuencode for details.

Re: non ASCII files

I saw this problem few monthes ago.

We wrote a little script that first uuencoded the file and then used cu to sent it.
