XMODEM
Error control software protocol used to transfer files between modems . Sends data in blocks of 128 bytes .
An early form of file transmission for dialup and telnet connections.It is slower and uses smaller blocks of data( 128 bits) than ymodem and zmodem.
A popular file-transfer protocol developed in 1977 by Ward Christiansen. The protocol works by sending blocks of data in 128-byte blocks from PC to PC. Included with this data is an error-detection system called a checksum. When the data is received, the error detection system ensures that the entire message reached its destination. If not, the receiving computer sends a request for retransmission of the data. Compare with Ymodem , Zmodem .
