  19. I am quite new to kermit so I hope this is not a stupid questions but 
  20. I've spend hours trying to get this to work....
  21.  
  22. I am trying to set up an automated backup from a Fedora3 server to a 
  23. 500Gb LaCie drive over ethernet. There are about 30k files to transfer. 
  24.   I know both the server and the Lacie are OK as I have done the 
  25. complete  transfer with gFTP and all was OK.
  26.  
  27. I had some problems initially which I solved as follows:
  28.  
  29. set file stringspace 10000000
  30. set file listsize 100000
  31. set ftp filenames literal
  32. set term idle-timeout 100
  33. set term idle-action output \32
  34.  
  35.  
  36. With kermit I have a script which connects up; goes to the correct 
  37. directories on each side and can transfers the files. However, when I go 
  38. to the drive one of two things happens.
  39.  
  40. (1) If I try "ftp mput /recursive /update * " the files appear to 
  41. transfer. If I repeat it only the changed ones seem to be done again. 
  42. But on the LaCie the files are invisible - I can't find them anywhere!
  43.  
  44. (2) So I tried this instead:
  45.  
  46. ftp mput /recursive /update /listfile:\m(filelist) - this tranfers all 
  47. the files (I used find to generate a list of all the files (exc. 
  48. directories). Now I thik all there files are there and visible but they 
  49. ar enot in the correct directories! It looks as if kermit is descending 
  50. but not ascending before creating a new directory.
  51.  
  52. The listfile looks like this (but much longer!):
