The manual, "Using C-Kermit", has an entire chapter (Chapter 6) devoted
to this topic, plus additional material in the VMS Appendix. In other
words, any number of things can go wrong -- there is no short answer.
However, since most common cause for file transfer failure on VMS is buffer
overruns, you might begin by looking at flow control and buffer sizes.
See, in particular, the CKVINS.DOC file that contains installation
instructions.
