You can do it using Kermit alone, but this does not give you a DOS session
or menu on the remote side, in case that's what you were looking for.
It gives you a Kermit server, to which the client can send file management
(DIR, CD, etc) and transfer commands. It includes security features. Of
course, this can be menued to death on the client end. See Chapters 10
and 11 of the manual, "Using MS-DOS Kermit".
