given that you have the connection on the serial port (crossed cable ? null-modem cable), you may redirect input and output (each on an end) by :
type filename > COM1:

and at the other end (more tricky) :
echo >>transfered < COM1:
or
copy COM1: newfile

(it'll wait for ^Z character)

Hi FiatLink,

You can use the DOS Interlnk and Intersvr programs included with DOS6.22 to do this. You will need a null modem cable for this. Instructions for use and pinouts for the required cable can be found at:

If you do not have a copy of the software, it can be found at:
