Yes, you can't transfer binary files this way as there is no way of knowing when the file ends. You'd have to abort the COPY command manually, but IIRC copy then discards the things it has written. copy mdv1_filename to ser1h on the QL side and type com1 > filename on the PC side plus manually aborting using CTRL+C when the file is completely send might do the trick, I'm not sure. Alternatively if text transfer works reliably one could encode the binary files in base64, send it over the link and decode it on the other side. I've written some SBasic procedures to do this but there'd still be some more work needed for this.
