My memory may be getting foggy.
I normally use kermit for both ends of any file transfer, but I find myself
logging in to a Vax system directly into an application, and there is no
kermit ;-(
When this app saves a file, I'm supposed to fetch it via ftp.
Long, long ago, I recall that a Kermit command of "ftp" would initiate an
ftp session to the current host, using the current username and login.
I don't see that available anymore (Kermit-95 1.1.20)
I tried "ftp \v(line)" since that contains the host name, but it also has
:telnet appended, so that's not a happy thing.
I could easily make a macro, but this used to be a default feature.
On a related note:
If I require a second "password", say, to access a particular
program after logging in to a system, how can I embed that second
password encrypted in my login script? It seems that I could use K95
dialer to create a script with that password, and then copy the encrypted
line to the other KSC file, but that's a little obtuse.
