Right, as noted on the website the FTP client is available only in
the Unix version of C-Kermit and in Kermit 95.

Only by adapting the FTP module (ckcftp.c) to VMS. This would be a
rather major undertaking, even by someone who would know how to do it:
. DEC C programmer
. RMS programming for accessing the local file system
. Familiarity with the various TCP/IP stacks used in VMS
. Familiarity with FTP and security protocols
. Familiarity with VMS-specific FTP protocols
Over the last few years I've spoken to almost everyone who has this set of
skills, but none of them has time to work on it, although everyone agrees it
would be a great addition to the VMS toolbag, if it were done: a secure,
scriptable FTP client for VMS.
