Sometimes connections go bad; that's why we use file transfer protocols
like Kermit. If a packet is not received successfully, it is sent again.
If it still is not received successfully, it is sent yet again. And so
on, up to a limit (which you can specify with SET RETRY-LIMIT), after
which it gives up, since the connection appears to be unusable.
You can adapt Kermit to the bad connection, or you can fix the connection
so it won't be bad. But you didn't tell us what kind of connection it is
so it's difficult to offer suggestions. "Using C-Kermit" includes several
chapters on setting up connections and troublesheeting file transfer
problems. For hints about sending problem reports, see:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/support.html#hints
In the meantime, if a binary-mode transfer fails before it is complete,
you can use RESEND or REGET to have it continue where it left off. Since
you are building an automated file transfer procedure, you might want to
take a look at the "deliver" script in our library:
