File Transfer
Kermit Remote Operations
When Kermit is selected as the transfer protocol, the Remote button in the Initiate
File Transfer dialog box provides access to commands that enable you to perform
various operations on the host. Kermit has to be operating in server mode on the host
for remote commands to function. A command is initiated by selecting it in the
Kermit Remote Operations dialog box then clicking the Action... button.
Most commands will cause a dialog box to be displayed in which you have to enter
information, though if the OK button is not initially dimmed then the information is
not essential for the command to function. A window will display the results of
commands. If the results are extensive, an Edit window will display them, enabling
you to edit and even transfer them to another Windows application.
Get
This will display a dialog box in which you specify the name of a file to be obtained
from the host.
Command
This enables you to specify a command which is to be executed by the host. The
command must be entered using a valid syntax for the host.
Change Dir
This enables you to specify a different working directory for the host and enter your
password. If no directory is specified, the host will execute its default action for this
command. UNIX will enter the home directory.
