I can only speak for NTK, but I assume that this is very similar:

Start you connection (in my case via Toolkit/Download Package) using
the standard MNP blocks.

Newton sends: 'newt' 'ntp ' 'dpkg' 0x00000000

NTK sends: 'newt' 'ntp ' 'pkgX' (uint size of UTF16 String) (Package
Name)
Package Name is for example: "Test:SIG"

NTK sends: 'newt' 'ntp ' 'pkg ' (uint size of package)

NTK now sends the exact dump of the package, separated into blocks no
larger than 1024 bytes of data

Newton sends: 'newt' 'ntp ' 'rslt' (uint size of result code (4))
(uint result code (0))

NTK sends: 'newt' 'ntp ' 'term' (uint 0)

I hope that helps?

Matthias
