You are correct; the example is for C-Kermit's new FTP client. The standard
FTP client does not have a built-in scripting language and is ill-suited to
automation. The new version of C-Kermit, with its built-in scriptable FTP
client, is here:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ck71.html
For those who are new to Kermit, or who haven't looked at it in ten or
fifteen years, I should point out that integrating an FTP client into C-Kermit
was done primarily to allow FTP sessions to be scripted in the same way that
serial-port and Telnet sessions have been scripted all these years: the
scripting language was already there; the FTP client is new. If you're not
familiar with Kermit and would like to find out more, visit the Kermit home
page:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/
And if you're not familiar with Kermit scripting, see the Kermit script
library for lots of examples and applications:
