See:

You'll have to experiment with it. I don't recall the details but I'm
pretty sure I concluded it was impossible for Kermit to respond to the
ssh client's password prompt. See the comments in the script.
The difficulty, of course, comes because SSH is external, rather than
built in, to C-Kermit. If you were using Windows, you could use Kermit 95
instead, which has a built-in scriptable SSH client.
