Re: SPAM-LOW: system restart

interesting. Can you please tell me the command to transfer a file to
the debuggee.

Look in the debugger documentation under “.kdfiles” and you’ll see the
specific information about how to do this.

But it doesn’t permanently transfer the files. It loads the driver from your
local store, depending on how you have established the mapping. Before you
run without the debugger and defiles you have to refresh the files on the
mule yourself via install or copy.

Sometimes I hate the spell checker. “defiles” should have been “kdfiles”.
