Short answer: sorry, no, you can't do what you want without using wildcards
that the Kermit server understands. But watch out: if two or more files
exist on the Unix host whose names differ only by casing of letters, they
will be the SAME file on Windows. (K95 will create new names for you to
keep the files from overwriting each other, but they aren't pretty -- this
is a pitfall of mixing case-sensitive and case-insensitive file systems.)
