I'm interested in that question, too, since I'm going to change from
serial-to-terminal-server to full TCP/IP connection shortly. At the
moment I have nearly no practice with Kermit's telnet but some practice
with NCSA telnet.
The advantages of NCSA telnet I am aware of, are:
* Copy/Paste function implemented; in Kermit I need Windows to do that.
* ftp: This does not necessitate to start a server program at the remote
computer (if that is a PC it just needs to be in a NCSA telnet
session with ftp allowed). One cannot do anonymous ftp from the PC
with Kermit (right?)
There are *many* advantages of Kermit, of course, like superb terminal
emulations, automatic character-translations, etc. And, compared to ftp,
Kermit filetransfer has also advantages I specifically appreciate: It
can transfer the time stamps, and with "file collision update" (new for
MS-Kermit in Version 3.14) I can easily update backup copies of
multiple files on different computers.
Further comments?
Regards,
Peter
