Linux
we have a linux server. users are using pc's to login. pcplus is the software they use to login on serial port. the question is how they can transfer their files from linux server to pc when they are working online.

For text files they can just use the cat command on the Linux box and open a log file in Pcplus. That will save the entire file, along with the command unfortunately, into the log file on the pc. They will then need to edit the command and other stuff out of the file before they use it.
If Linux supports it then you could try to find Kermit or Xmodem or Ymodem or Zmodem or any of the older file transfer protocols and use those. You'll need to find a version that PCPlus supports and the runs on Linux from the command line.

I'm not sure exactly what your application is but I have used SSHD on the linux box and putty.exe and pscp.exe on the Windows side. This arrangement permits both terminal sessions and file transfers and has the further advantage of being somewhat more secure than a normal telnet session.

the application is to transfer files from linux box to diskless terminal on serial line without windows or nt. user on terminal should be able to transfer his/her file on floppy from linux box .

yes those are dos machines with one floppy drive. no HD installed.
end
Does your DOS software support something like XModem, YModem, ZModem or Kermit (preferred) protocols?
