SET FILE NAMES LITERAL
in your .kermrc will do what you want, but also has some effect on
path names, so that if you try to transfer /etc/passwd, you have to make
sure that you specify an output name as well as the input name.
And of course, if you transfer files to some system that doesn't know what
to do with the filenames that you have under a smarter OS, it won't work.
Transferring to/from a variety of systems, I find it easiest to leave the
Kermit default as is, and rename the files later.
