As you probably know, MS-DOS Kermit is taken care of by a volunteer
developer at another site. Since 1999, as you know, life has become

food on the table.

You should be able to use SEND /RECURSIVE send recursively, GET /RECURSIVE
to get recursively, or the \frdirectories() function to build a recursive
file list.
