Example : If your m4 has IP number 192.168.1.11, the following code will run zynaps from given directory.
xfer -x 192.168.1.11 /games/zynaps/zynapsex.bas
Want to leave it again you could reset the cpc by:
xfer -s 192.168.1.11
In a development environment the idea is you ie. do the following to your makefile :
xfer -u 192.168.1.11 mycode.bin / 0
(to upload the file after compilation, additional files could be uploaded too)
xfer -x 192.168.1.11 /mycode.bin
(to execute it)
Remote files can be basic/binary or SNA (emulator snapshot format).
If you are deving roms, they can be remotely uploaded too :
xfer -f 192.168.1.11 yancc.rom 3 "YANCC"
(upload to slot 3)
xfer -f 192.168.1.11 launcher.rom 4 "The Launcher"
(upload to slot 4)
xfer -r 192.168.1.11
(Reboot M4 for changes to take effect)
