It depends on which Kermit program you are talking about. One method
that is common to many Kermit programs is to set it up in server mode
after having given it the appropriate CD and DISABLE CD commands. This
restricts all file access to the directory that was current when the
CD command was given. In this case, of course, you must also DISABLE
FINISH, to prevent them from getting out of server mode and re-ENABLE'ing
CD.
For receiving files only, some Kermit programs (C-Kermit 6.0 and K-95)
have a SET FILE DOWNLOAD-DIRECTORY command, that causes all incoming
files to go into the specified directory.
The next release of C-Kermit, 7.0, will also be able to take the place of an
FTP server, which is probably more like what you had in mind. Watch this
space for announcements.
