Set File

Syntax: SET FILE parameter value


Establish file-related parameters. The actual parameters you can specify in this command will vary from system to system, and you should consult the documentation for your particular version of Kermit. Some examples would be file type (text or binary), end-of-file detection method (on microcomputers) and file naming conversion option.

This can be a very important command if you intend to transfer binary files, but is normally unecessary for transmitting textual files.
