Receive file ([File] menu)

Outputs the data received from the host to a file.

Features

1. Can receive binary data and write it to a file even in environments where file transfer via scp, ftp, Kermit, etc. is not possible.
   When receiving binary data from a UNIX server, run "stty raw" on the UNIX server.
   For details, see the recvfile macro command example.
2. Less prone to dropping received data during serial connections.
3. It's faster to use "Receive file" than to output received data to the log.

Selecting this menu brings up the "Receive file" dialog.
If you select this menu while holding down the CTRL key, it skips the "Receive File" dialogand proceed to file selection.
In that case, the same receiving options as before will be used.

This behavior can be changed in the configuration file. See "Skip Receive file dialog" for details.

Binary

Write the received data to the file exactly as received.
No conversions are performed (kanji/codepage conversion, line-ending conversion, suppression of control-character output, etc.). Binary mode is fixed.

Auto-stop wait time(sec)

If there is no received data for the specified duration, the reception will terminate.
The default value for the wait time is 5 seconds.
If 0 seconds is specified, the receive process will not be terminated and will continue to wait for data.

Drop of received data

When receiving data at a high bit rate from the serial port, there may be instances where received data is dropped.
This is likely to occur when the PC is under high load and Tera Term's processing cannot keep up.
