Hi Frank,
I did go read about it. It states this:
"The next release of C-Kermit for UNIX (including Linux, Solaris,
AIX, HP-UX, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Tru64, QNX, SCO, IRIX, and all others
for which TCP/IP-capable C-Kermit versions are presently available)
and Kermit 95 (for Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, and 2000, and OS/2) will
include a built-in FTP client. ..."
I am running:
"Kermit 95 1.1.20, 31 Mar 2000, for 32-bit OS/2"
Typing help ftp returns this:
[E:/K2/] Kermit/2>help ftp
Syntax: FTP [ IP-hostname-or-number ]
Makes an FTP connection to the given IP host or, if no host
specified, to the current host. Uses the system's FTP program,
if any.
Since the first statement, from your site, says "will include" and
the page is dated "4 January 2001" I take it to mean that my version
doesn't have it yet. Will this be in Kermit for OS/2 version 1.1.21
when it is available? ... Ah ha! I just answered my own question by
viewing ( http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/k95.html#future ). Yay!
You guys are great! I've been looking for scriptable OS/2 FTP that
has the ability to send/receive whole directory trees without a lot
of hassle. I can script the OS/2 FTP with REXX but to send and
receive a whole tree with it would be a programming nightmare for me.
So, I've been putting it off. :-) Thanks for all the work on this
excellent software. Now if I could only convince my web host to put
up an IKSD I'd be a happy man. ;-)
Two more questions: When will Using C-Kermit THIRD Edition be
available? Will it be hard copy or soft copy?
You guys have made enough changes and added enough features that a
new book would be very nice to see.
