This is not the problem that IKSD attempts to solve. Users have for
years before IKSD was released used C-Kermit for user to user transfers.
If you do not need to switch userid then you can create your own Kermit
server using
SET SERVER LOGIN <username> <password>
SET HOST /SERVER * <port> /TELNET
If you wish to use Kerberos 5 user to user mode, use
SET HOST * <port> /K5USER2USER
IF NOT EQ \v(authname) "name of expected user" CLOSE CONNECTION
SERVER
