- .CD "kermit (en transfer a file using the kermit protocol"
- .SX "kermit"
- .FL "fR(many)"
- .EY "kermit" "Start kermit"
- .PP
- This is a slightly lobotomized fIkermitfR.
- The help command, the script facility, and the automatic dial support
- have been removed.
- The ? and ESC commands still work, so there is still reasonable built-in help.
- The only V7 fIkermitfR feature that does not work is the ability to see
- whether there are input characters waiting. This means that you will not
- be able to ask for status during a file transfer (though
- this is not critical, because fIkermitfR prints a dot every so often and
- other special characters whenever there is an error or timeout).
- .PP
- Start fIkermitfR, and then type the following to open a 2400 baud session,
- for example:
- .HS
- .nf
- .Cx "set line /dev/tty1"
- .Cx "set speed 2400"
- .Cx "connect"
- .HS
- .fi
- (It is more convenient if you put these commands in fI.kermrcfR in your
- home directory, so that they get done automatically whenever you
- run fIkermitfR.) This will connect you to the modem or whatever on
- the serial port. Now log into the other system.
- .PP
- When you want to transfer files, run fIkermitfR on the other system.
- To it, type
- .HS
- .Cx "server"
- .HS
- This puts its fIkermitfR into a sort of *(OQslave mode*(CQ where it expects
- commands from the fIkermitfR running on your s-2MINIXs0 system. Now come back
- to the command level on s-2MINIXs0 fIkermitfR, by typing the escape character
- followed by fIcfR. (fIKermitfR will tell you
- the current escape character when
- you do the connect command.) At this point you can issue various
- commands.
- Your fIkermitfR will coordinate things with fIkermitfR on the other
- machine so that you only have to type commands at one end. Common
- commands are
- .HS
- .Cx "get fIs+2filenamefPs0"
- .br
- .Cx "put fIs+2filenamefPs0"
- .br
- .Cx "remote fIs+2dirfPs0"
- .HS
- fRFilenames can include wildcards. By default, fIkermitfR works in a
- system-independent, text mode. (In effect it assumes that the
- whole world is s-2MS-DOSs0 and converts end of line and file names
- accordingly.) To send binary files, you will want to type
- .HS
- .Cx "set file type bin"
- .HS
- on both ends before starting any transfers. This disables
- CR LF to newline conversion. If both of your systems are some
- flavor of s-2UNIXs0, you might as well put this in fI.kermrcfR on both
- ends and run in binary mode all the time. Also, if both systems
- are s-2UNIXs0 it is recommended that you use
- .HS
- .Cx "set file name lit"
- .HS
- on both ends. This causes it to keep file names unchanged,
- rather than mapping to legal s-2MS-DOSs0 names.
- .PP
- Here is a typical fI.kermrcfR for use on
- .MX :
- .HS
- .nf
- .Cx "set line /dev/tty1"
- .Cx "set speed 1200"
- .Cx "set esc 29"
- .Cx "set file type bin"
- .Cx "set file name lit"
- .Cx "set retry 90"
- .Cx "set prompt MINIX kermit>"
- .Cx "connect"
- .fi
- .PP
- On the other end of the line, for example, the host at your local computer
- center to which you want to transfer files, a typical profile might be:
- .HS
- .nf
- .Cx "set rec packet 1000"
- .Cx "set fil name lit"
- .Cx "set fil type bin"
- .Cx "server"
- .fi
- .HS
- .PP
- fIKermitfR has many other options and features. For a pleasant and
- highly readable description of it, see the following book:

- Over 400 versions of fIkermitfR are available, so it is likely there is one
- for any computer your
- .MX
- system might want to talk to.
