Local

Syntax: LOCAL command


It executes the specified command on the local system. These commands provide some local file management capability without having to leave the Kermit program, which is particularly useful on microcomputers. The LOCAL prefix for these commands can be omitted.

   
CWD [directory]
``Change Working Directory'' to the specified directory.

   
DELETE filespec
Delete the specified file or files.

   
DIRECTORY [filespec]
Provide a directory listing of the specified files.

   
SPACE
Display local disk usage and/or free space.

   
RUN command [operands]
Run the indicated program with the supplied command-line operands.

   
PUSH
Invoke the local system command interpreter so that it can return (or ``pop'' or ``exit'') back to Kermit.

Some Kermit programs may provide commands for these or other functions in the syntax of their own system.
