It is hard to say without knowing which software is on
the other end.
The general rule for modern Kermit software is: give the
command SET FILE TYPE BINARY to the file sender and it
will automatically tell the file receiver that the transfer
mode is binary.
But since you do not know which software is on the other end,
it is possible that this software does not support the
transfer-mode notification feature.
Therefore, when in doubt, tell BOTH Kermit programs to
SET FILE TYPE BINARY.
