On my new job we have an old dos machine running dos 6.22. This machine is necessary for data acquisition for scientific experiments. So it needs to continue to work as it is.
Since data transfer is a real pain I got the task to find a solution to transfer files from the dos machine to a Linux server, preferably automatic.
I'm an engineer and not a computer scientist, I know a few things but I've never had anything to do with dos.
I know that a few years ago the file transfer was done by scpdos, this eventually stopped working. With scpdos you can connect and it even asks for the remote password, but then "unsupported remote protocol" is shown.
Well, I have no idea and wanted to ask you for help.
Optimally I can run a script in the mail lunix server, that copies all files in a specific directory on the dos machine and deletes them afterwards. This every x min.
I've got a raspberry pi, wo may be the pi could act as coping device like: get data from dos, send to server, delete data on dos... Repeat
Hopefully you can help. Thanks.
OK, thanks for this! I forgot to mention, that telnet and wattcp are already installed on the dos machine... I guess there is not just a way to use ssh and scp... – user982488 – 2019-01-08T18:11:06.273
I updated my answer. There is a way to use SCP. – HackSlash – 2019-01-09T20:16:35.870
