Example : If your m4 has IP number 192.168.1.11, the following code will run zynaps from given directory.

<code>xfer -x 192.168.1.11 /games/zynaps/zynapsex.bas</code>

Want to leave it again you could reset the cpc by: 

<code>xfer -s 192.168.1.11</code>



In a development environment the idea is you ie. do the following to your makefile :

<code>xfer -u 192.168.1.11 mycode.bin / 0</code> (to upload the file after compilation, additional files could be uploaded too)

<code>xfer -x 192.168.1.11 /mycode.bin</code> (to execute it)



If you are deving roms, they can be remotely uploaded too : 

<code>xfer -f 192.168.1.11 yancc.rom 3 "YANCC"</code> (upload to slot 3)

<code>xfer -f 192.168.1.11 launcher.rom 4 "The Launcher"</code> (upload to slot 4)

<code>xfer -r 192.168.1.11</code> (Reboot M4 for changes to take effect)
