Sure. Note: the LOCUS setting tells where unqualified file management
commands like DIRECTORY and DELETE should be aimed: the local computer where
Kermit is running or the remote computer to which you have a connection.
You can always override the LOCUS setting by using an L or R prefix on any
file management command: LDIR, LDEL (local); RDIR, RDEL (remote). This
notion was introduced in C-Kermit 8.0.201 because of the new FTP client;
FTP users expect commands like DIR and DELETE to be executed by the remote
server, whereas Kermit users expect them to execute locally. For this
reason Kermit automatically switches LOCUS to REMOTE when you make an FTP
connection, and keeps it LOCAL otherwise. It's all documented in the
update notes:
