You mean, calling up a host-mode PC from another computer? Let's say
computer A is running host mode, and computer B is calling it up, using
C-Kermit or Kermit 95. Then yes, Computer B can be scripted, but it's a bit
of a pain because the host mode interface is designed to be used by humans.
Thus scripting interactions with it would be like scripting interactions with
a BBS -- wait for the menu, send the appropriate choice, wait for the
next menu, etc.
However, if your intention is to allow access by multiple users via
direct dialin, then this is probably the best way, because with host mode
you get some form of authentication, and you get separate directories for
the different users.
On the other hand, if you mean, does host mode give you automated file
transfers FROM the PC where host mode is running...? No, you don't need
host mode for that, you can script it yourself directly, as illustrated
in the Kermit script library:
