Configure each PC's Kermit program for TCP/IP according to the instructions
in the manual, "Using MS-DOS Kermit", Chapter 17.
On one PC, tell Kermit to "set port tcp *", which means wait for an
incoming TCP/IP connection, and then "server" to put it in Kermit
server mode.
Then on the other PC, tell Kermit to "set port tcp xxxx", where xxxx is the
IP address of the first PC, and then just give it SEND, GET, REMOTE
DIRECTORY, and similar commands.
You can even transfer entire directory trees from one PC to another in
this way. Use the XSEND utility that is supplied with MS-DOS Kermit
(or at least it will be supplied with version 3.14 -- in earlier versions
it was on a separate "utilities" diskette). You can ftp the XSEND
utility from kermit.columbia.edu, directory kermit/a, files msixse.*.
The binary is in kermit/bin/msixse.exe.
