How To Transfer File Using Putty Serial Communication

On

Jun 20, 2013  Posts about Serial port communication in Windows 7 using Hyper-terminal and Putty written by Sachin Y.P.

I'd like to send the text content of a file over the serial port, over PuTTY. I know that extensions exists such as Xmodem and Zmodem, but they all use some checksum protocols to confirm that a file is sent over the port.

However, my requirements are more simple. I'd like to simply send a bunch of text (in a file) over the serial port in Windows (under Linux this would be must more simple), but my preferred terminal program is PuTTY. Is this possible? Is there another terminal program that has this type of feature built it?

Use Plink (a command-line connection tool from PuTTY suite). It's a console application intended to automate connection tasks, like yours. Being a console application, you can redirect its input from a text file:

PuTTY (/ˈpʌti/)[3] is a free and open-sourceterminal emulator, serial console and network file transfer application. It supports several network protocols, including SCP, SSH, Telnet, rlogin, and raw socket connection. It can also connect to a serial port. The name 'PuTTY' has no official meaning.[4]

PuTTY was originally written for Microsoft Windows, but it has been ported to various other operating systems. Official ports are available for some Unix-like platforms, with work-in-progress ports to Classic Mac OS and macOS, and unofficial ports have been contributed to platforms such as Symbian,[5][6]Windows Mobile and Windows Phone.

PuTTY was written and is maintained primarily by Simon Tatham.

Features[edit]

PuTTY supports many variations on the secure remote terminal, and provides user control over the SSH encryption key and protocol version, alternate ciphers such as AES, 3DES, Arcfour, Blowfish, DES, and Public-key authentication. PuTTY supports SSO through GSSAPI, including user provided GSSAPI DLLs. It also can emulate control sequences from xterm, VT220, VT102 or ECMA-48terminal emulation, and allows local, remote, or dynamic port forwarding with SSH (including X11 forwarding). The network communication layer supports IPv6, and the SSH protocol supports the zlib@openssh.com delayed compression scheme. It can also be used with local serial port connections.

PuTTY comes bundled with command-line SCP and SFTP clients, called 'pscp' and 'psftp' respectively, and plink, a command-line connection tool, used for non-interactive sessions.[7]

PuTTY does not support session tabs directly, but many wrappers are available that do.[8]

History[edit]

PuTTY's development dates back to late 1998,[1] and it has been a usable SSH-2 client since October 2000.[9][10]

Components[edit]

PuTTY consists of several components:

  • PuTTY: the Telnet, rlogin, and SSH client itself, which can also connect to a serial port
  • PSCP: an SCP client, i.e. command-line secure file copy. Can also use SFTP to perform transfers
  • PSFTP: an SFTP client, i.e. general file transfer sessions much like FTP
  • PuTTYtel: a Telnet-only client
  • Plink: a command-line interface to the PuTTY back ends. Usually used for SSH Tunneling
  • Pageant: an SSH authentication agent for PuTTY, PSCP and Plink
  • PuTTYgen: an RSA, DSA, ECDSA and EdDSA key generation utility
  • pterm: a standalone terminal emulator

Reception[edit]

In 2009, Justin James of TechRepublic cited its reliability, cost, cross-platform support, and features as positives. He faulted complex configuration, extended beta testing, and lack of support for scripting.[11] J. Peter Bruzzese of InfoWorld included it in his list of 15 Essential Open Source Tools for Windows Admins and wrote that its imitators are not as good.[12]
