The thing that held me up in implementing it just then was the fact that
MS-Kermit 3.15 does not suggest the "@list-name" when doing a send ?
I will get the new edition of the MS-Kermit manual sometime SOON...
What I have setup, which is completely untested is:
MSKERMIT.INI:
SET PARITY NONE ; Usually no parity on BBS
SET BLOCK 3 ; CRC checking for security
SET RECEIVE PACKET 2000 ; Long packets from client, upper limit
SET WINDOW 4 ; Sliding windows, upper limit
SET FILE TYPE BINARY ; Fine for all DOS to DOS transfers(*)
SET CONTROL UNPREFIX ALL ; Unprefix all control characters except...
SET CON P 0 1 3 13 17 19 129 131 141 145 147
SET RECEIVE PATH OFF ; Restrict uploads to current directory
SET FILE COLL OVERWRITE ; Incoming files overwrite old files of same name
SET CARRIER ON ; Recover from hangups immediately
SET FILE DISPLAY QUIET ; No file transfer display
SET BELL OFF ; Be quiet
SET EXIT WARNING OFF ; Unattended, don't ask for permission to exit
LOG TRANSACTION ; Log transfers to TRANSACT.LOG if desired(**)
DEFINE BSEND SET FILE TYPE BINARY, SEND \%1 ; Use macros for command
DEFINE TSEND SET FILE TYPE TEXT, SEND \%1 ; line brevity...
; kermit set port fossil 17, bsend foo.zip
; kermit set port 2, set speed 57600, set flow rts/cts, bsend bar.zip
; kermit set com3 \x3e8 5, set por 3, set flow rts/cts, set sp 57, bs baz.zip
; kermit set port bios1, tsend oofa.txt
as per the MS-Kermit documentation, then:
Protocol MS-Kermit
Type Batch
Logfile MSK%K.log
ControlFile MSK%K.ctl
Downloadcmd e:\received\kermit\msk315l log trans MSK%K.log, set port fossil %P, bsend @MSK%K.ctl
