Not only is it possible but very easy using a Kermit script. You can create a
script that does the entire process of connecting to the computer in Toronto,
checking for the file, doing the copy and disconnecting. all the person in
Tokyo would need to do is to start Kermit.
The actual details will depend on the type of operating system on the computers
but modern Kermit runs on all popular systems.
The best thing you cam do for yourself is to buy a copy of "Using C-Kermit" by
Frank da Cruz and Christine M. Gianone. This book is included in Kermit-95 and
possibly other versions from Columbia. Go to their web site at
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/manuals.html for information about the book.
Have fun,
don
