Kermit Help File
Kermit is a family of programs which perform reliable file transfer between
computers over regular TTY lines. This file contains the Kermit commands
for the RT-11 version of Kermit.
Command Explanation
send Sends a file or number of files from the RT-11 to the
remote host. The name of each file is passed to the remote
host in a special control packet, so that the remote host
can store it with the same name.
NO wildcarding is allowed.
receive Receive a file or file group from the remote host. If an
incoming file name is not legal, then attempt to transform it
to a similar legal name, e.g. by deleting illegal or
excessive characters.
If the file already exists, it will be supersceded
if file-warning is set OFF; otherwise, a file will be created
with a name like KERMnn.TMP
set Establish various system-dependent parameters, such as max-
imum packet length, debbuging mode, transmission delay, etc.
Also allows the user to specify virtual terminal line parity.
show Display various system-dependent parameters established by
the SET command.
connect Establish a virtual terminal connection from the RT-11 to
a computer hooked up to it through a TTY line. The connection
uses the parity defined by the set command.
status Give information about the last file transfer; effective baud
rate, number of ACK's, NAK's, and bad packets, etc.
