I seem to remember some way of using something like COPY /B COM1: xxxxx.yyy to copy over one half of a file transfer program to a remote machine which you couldn't get a physical media to. I think Laplink had this "built in". I have a vague memory of someone I worked with doing it with Kermit from a VAX to a PC, I can't for the life of me remember the details however.
