It seems that i can`t send files to the CNC but i can recive data from the CNC machine. Both machine and easyDnc are just waiting and nothing happens when i try to send a file to the machine.

CNC controler is Sinumerik 840D

Sounds like flow control.

This web page shows two cable diagrams - 1 and 2.

Sinumerik CNC DNC Settings and Cable

I know that shows the 810 but the cable is the same.

If flow control in easyDnc is set to RTS/CTS then your cable must connect the pins as shown on [Cable 2] of that webpage.

If your cable is wired as per [Cable 1] then you can only use flow control `xOn/xOff` or `None`.

Do not use one of the `Wait` options in easyDnc`s flow control setup.
