Actually, it is on the wishlist. A surprising number of people ask for
this, and even more will do so in the future when they see all of the
new scripting and file-selection controls that will appear in forthcoming
Kermit releases, that could just as easily be applied to an FTP transfer.
But other developments are in the offing that might make this issue less
pressing. Watch this space for news.
