Kermit - A terminal emulation Program and file transfer protocol
developed at Columbia University. Kermit is the slowest
file transfer protocol, but useful when sending 7-bit
characters. (Naturally, despite its lackluster transfer
speed--or perhaps because of it--Kermit is a favorite
of many educational institutions. Its status as freeware
has also endeared it to thrifty educators everywhere.)
Yes, it's named in honor of Sesame Street's Kermit the
Frog.
ZMODEM - The latest and fastest file transfer protocol. ZMODEM
recovers from transmission errors more effectively than
the other popular protocols. In addition because ZMODEM
operates in batch mode, you can download or upload several
several files at a time. Finally, if a transmission is
inerrupted halfway during a file transfer, you can log
and pick up the file transfer where it was cut off, only
downloading the "last" half. With other protocols, an
interruption means downloading the entire file again.
I would be curious to hear responses from the kermit user
community.
