I wonder is there a top prize for the most posting is this newsgroup??
:)
Firsty many thanks for the help on the raw ascii file, it works
perfectly..
I'm try to see if there is a cleaning way of doing the following.
I have a site with kermit in server mode, and another site which dials
up and exchanges some data (not in server mode).
Currently from the client if I'm trying to get a file back (which
sometimes is there, sometimes it isn't) I'm just doing a straight
get blahh.txt from the client's script.
I then check the success or failure of the get to see if the file came
back. Is there a way to test the existance of a file on a remote server?
REMOTE if exists doesn't work and I'll also tried
REMOTE KERMIT if exist doesn't work either.
It says in the C-Kermit book (page 238) for remote kermit, the the
c-kermit server cannot currently respond to command sent to it by remote
kermit. I assume that's why I'm not having any luck with this.
Is there any other way to check the existance of a remote file without
doing a get and checking for a failure?
Regards..
