As noted earlier in this thread, you can use C-Kermit 7.0 (but not earlier)
to make the mainframe connection *through* the tn3270 program, and this lets
you transfer files with IBM mainframe Kermit. It doesn't matter that you
have no control over the Sun. Just download the appropriate C-Kermit 7.0
binary:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ckermit.html
to your own account on the Sun and run it instead of the system one. For
example, if you have Solaris 2.5.1 on Sparc architecture, then you would
download:
ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/bin/cku196.solaris25-sparc-2.5.1
and then:
mv cku196.solaris25-sparc-2.5.1 kermit
chmod +x kermit
./kermit
