I've got two machines talking happily via Kermit (but no other
protocols -- direct serial connection). I want to back up the DOS
box, including all subdirectories, into a directory on the UNIX
system. However, when I try
GET /recursive /binary c:\*.*
on the UNIX end, it dumps all the files it receives into the current
directory!
Is there some magic switch I can use to tell Kermit to create
intermediate directories as needed, or is there a script somewhere
to do just that? I want to preserve the directory structure of the
DOS box when making the backup ...
