Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I am trying to load the Raspberry Pi pico W with the various files described in the Aug 2023 article using a Mac OS. v12.6.9
I have been using CoolTerm 2.0.1 as there is no mac version of Tera Term.

I was able to successfully copy the WebMite MMBasic Version 5.07.07 to the pico

I was able to enter the SSID and pwd for my local wifi router successfully.

The FILES and PRINT cmds work ok.

When I attempt to use the TFTP cmd I get Error : Unknown Command.

How can/do I load the retic.bas and associated files into the pico?

The webmite is a tftp server. You need a tftp client for the mac and execute the commands there

Thanks matherp, I have now installed Pumpkin on my Mac and have used it to upload retic.bas and the related web server files.
