While the experts have written a method to try some of the options on the
server side of things, why do it there???
If the file name is in the file to be sent, extract that, and on the
sending side say "send file xxx as yyyy", or its equivalent. While my
through unserstanding of kermit is not great, I understood that a file (as
in the example 'xxx' could be sent to the other side (on the server side)
with a new name ('yyyy' in the example). If I had the proper book in
front of me (I intend to buy it soon) I could give some hints, but I've
been away from Kermit for a while, so I may be a bit fuzzy.
Name translation must be available in some form, for very.long.unix.names
don't translate well to MS-DOS 8.3 type names.
Just a thought...
