C-Kermit:

. It can perform resumable transers.
. It does compression on the fly when you use Kermit protocol.
. You have your choice of Kerberos, SSL/TLS, or SRP security.
. It is fully scriptable using its own built-in scripting language.
You can use it any of various ways:
. Kermit client to Kermit server (Dialup, Telnet, Rlogin, X.25).
. Kermit client to Internet Kermit server (Internet only).
. Kermit client to secure FTP server (Internet only).
The latter two are preferable, to sidestep peculiarities of the AIX telnet
server, and for better performance. Furthermore, since Kermit supports all
sorts of different connection methods and protocols, you can fall back
(e.g.) to modem dialup in case the Internet connection is down.
