In other words, C-Kermit 7.1 *is* an FTP client, with all the scripting
that it had already in place for Kermit transfers.

Yes, but only one file at a time. Kermit can do this not only for single
files, but also for groups of files, on a per-file basis, with the added
capacity (not found in any other FTP client to my knowledge) of performing
these actions (deleting or moving the source file, renaming the source or
destination file, etc) if and only if the transfer of that file succeeded.
The original poster was rather emphatic about the need to do this sort of
thing for "*", not just for one file.
Anybody who is interested in FTP automation really should take a look at:

This is a new FTP client that is explicitly desiged for automated procedures.
