sending binary over hyperterminal

Hi.. I am a beginner at microcontrollers.. Is there a way to send a binary file to a pic microcontroller through rs232 from the hyperterminal?? I was able to send button press on key board to PIC successfully but not a file. all I need is a way to send a binary file to PIC..
please help..
thank you...

hyperterminal binary

XModem is a common file transfer protocol.

read binary hyperterminal

thank you..
Does any body have a code for PIC24FJ128GA010 microprocessor that takes care of xmodem protocol??

hyperterminal +sending binary files

The Hyperterminal function "send text file" exactly does what you intend: Send a file as is (binary).

hyperterminal intel hex file send

i want to send a exe file not a text file.. I want a code for PIC24FJ128GA010 microprocessor to recieve the data and store it into a flash memory..

Yes. You initially told, you want to send a binary file through Hyperterminal. If your uP firmware expects the file as unencoded binary, than you have to use "send text file". The problem is of course to identify exactly the start and end of file, and to detect transmission errors. Thus binary files are often send encoded (e.g. as Intel hex), or using a protocol as X/Y/ZMODEM, that adds a transport and error detection layer to the data transmission.
