C-Kermit creates directories too, on selected operating systems (UNIX, VMS,
OS/2, Stratus VOS, and OS-9), if you enable this feature on the receiver
with SET RECEIVE PATHNAMES ON and on the sender with SET SEND PATHNAMES ON.
It even creates intermediate directories if they don't exist.
However, at present, no Kermit program has the built-in ability to send
directory trees on the fly. That's coming. In the meantime:
. MS-DOS Kermit and OS/2 C-Kermit come with XSEND utilities that let
you do this.
. In UNIX, you can pipe transfers through tar, or just make tar files and
transfer them.
. In VMS you can transfer BACKUP savesets.
Instructions are in the manuals and update (.UPD) files.
