:
One does not do FTP (or Ymodem-G, or Zmodem, ...) transfers in Kermit.
(Strictly speaking, one *can* invoke X- Y- or Zmodem as an external
protocol from a Kermit program, and use it over the same connection,
given the appropriate X- Y- or Zmodem software, such as DSZ for DOS;
but one cannot do FTP transfers over the same connection as one's
Kermit connection, although one could conceivably invoke ftp from the
Kermit prompt to transfer files over a separate connection.)
But if one WERE transferring a file in binary mode with ANY protocol --
Kermit or FTP or Ymodem-G, etc -- and if the partially transferred file
was not discarded, then you could use Kermit's new recovery feature to
continue the transfer from the point of failure, even though the original
transfer might not have been done with Kermit.
Does that clear it up?
