Could Not Read Remote Directory

This file transfer error means that TinyTERM or TERM could not get information from the host system. There are only a few possible causes:

  1. The username or password is incorrect.
  2. The remote directory does not exist.
  3. The user does not have rights to read the directory.

For items 1 and 2, check the spelling. Also verify that the username in question does exist on the host system.

If the user does not have rights to read the host directory, then you’ll need to correct that. Another user may have rights. You might change the directory and file permissions so the user can read them. Or you might move the necessary host files to a different directory before downloading. If uploading, you can also select a different destination directory.
