 Uploads start when the BBS is ready to receive: start the upload on the BBS and Saltbush asks which files to send. **Transfer → Upload with Zmodem…** also works: the files are sent as soon as the BBS (or ''rz'' in a shell) starts receiving. **Transfer → Cancel Transfer** stops a transfer on both sides.
-Xmodem and Ymodem are in the **Transfer** menu on Linux (they use the ''lrzsz'' programs).
+===== Ymodem, Xmodem and Kermit =====
+All four protocols are built in, on Linux and Windows.
+  * **Ymodem and Xmodem:** start the transfer on the BBS first, then choose it in the **Transfer** menu (**Download with Ymodem**, **Download with Xmodem…**, **Upload with Ymodem…**, **Upload with Xmodem…**). Xmodem does not send a file name, so Saltbush asks where to save the download. The session's **File Transfer** page chooses 128-byte or 1K Xmodem blocks.
+  * **Kermit:** downloads start by themselves when the BBS starts sending. For uploads, start the receive on the BBS, then choose **Transfer → Upload with Kermit…**.
