Hi All,
I am currently doing a comparison of the Kermit and FTP protocols and have
some questions:
1) Does Kermits use of a single multiplexed channel have implications for
simultaneous transfer of commands while data transfer is in progress? (ie.
In FTP there is the 2 channels available)
2) Is the error recovery/Restart functionality available regardless of the
mode of transfer? (In FTP crash recovery not avaialble using stream mode).
3) When using FTP, user may set up a connection between 2 other
servers/machines, and use the users host to control the session. Is this
capability available in Kermit?
Also, if u feel OK about some offtopic FTP questions :) :
1) Does FTP encrypt the login info for start of session, or are plain text
passwords sent? Or does the TELNET client encrypt the login info?
Thanks for any help
Dave
