Kermit is a file transfer program. It allows the transfer of files over terminal lines from a remote Kermit program to the local Kermit program. Kermit-10 can be run in either local or remote modes. In remote mode, transfers take place over the controlling terminal line. Ususally, Kermit-10 is used in remote mode as a "server", meaning that it will accept commands from the other Kermit. In local mode, Kermit-10 will perform transfers over a terminal line other than the controlling terminal. In local mode, Kermit-10 is capable of giving commands to a "server" Kermit. Kermit-10 is put into local mode by using the SET LINE command. Type HELP for more information on a given commands. Additional information is avaiable for: BYE CONNECT EXIT FINISH GET LOCAL LOG LOGOUT RECEIVE REMOTE SEND SET SHOW STATUS *BYE BYE This command will cause Kermit-10 (when in local mode) to tell the other Kermit (which should be in server mode) to exit from Kermit and, if applicable, terminate its job (or process, etc.). When Kermit-10 receives the acknowledgement that this is being done, it will exit to TOPS-10. Kermit-10>BYE *CONNECT CONNECT The CONNECT command will allow you to connect in as a virtual terminal over the line that was specified by the SET LINE command, or to the terminal line specified in the command. The format of the CONNECT command is: Kermit-10>CONNECT or Kermit-10>CONNECT device: where device: is the terminal name to be used. or Kermit-10>CONNECT node:: line where node:: is the node number the terminal is attach to, and line is the line number within that node. *EXIT EXIT The EXIT command will cause Kermit to return to command level. This command is the same as the QUIT command. An example of this command is: Kermit-10>EXIT *FINISH FINISH This command will cause Kermit-10 (when in local mode) to tell the other Kermit (which should be in server mode) to exit from Kermit. After receiving the acknowledgement that this is being done, Kermit-10 will prompt for another command. Kermit-10>FINISH *GET GET This command can only be used in local mode. It will cause Kermit-10 to request that the other Kermit (which must be running in server mode) to transmit the specifed file(s) to Kermit-10. Kermit-10>GET file-specification Where "file-specification" is a valid file specification for the system on which the other Kermit is running. *LOCAL LOCAL This set of commands performs actions like getting directory listings, deleting files, etc., on the local system (i.e., the system Kermit-10 is running on). These commands correspond to the commands which Kermit-10 implements in server mode. Additional information is available for the LOCAL commands by typing HELP LOCAL
