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 Vax/VMS version of Kermit.
Command Explanation
send Sends a file or file group from the VAX 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. VMS 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.
set Establish various system-dependent parameters, such as max-
imum packet length, dubbuging mode, transmission delay, etc.
Also allows the user to specify virtual terminal line-speed,
and parity.
show Display various system-dependent parameters established by
the SET command.
connect Establish a virtual terminal connection from the VAX to a
computer hooked up to it through a TTY line. The connection
uses the line speed, and 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.
dcl Perform a call to vms dcl.
