Get (Local Only)

Syntax: GET [remote-filespec]

The GET command requests a remote Kermit server to Send the file or file group specified by remote-filespec. Note the distinction between the RECEIVE and GET commands: RECEIVE instructs the program to wait passively, whereas GET actively sends a request to a server.

The GET command can be used only when Kermit is local, with a Kermit server on the other end of the line. This means that you must have CONNECTed to the other system, logged in, run Kermit there, issued the SERVER command, and escaped back to the local Kermit.
