This is probably the simplest way to use Kermit, connect to the remote host and start the remote Kermit in server mode. A large subset of the possible Kermit server commands is implemented (not implemented: Journal, Who, Variable):
| Put | send a file to the host. |
| Get | receive a file from the host. |
| Finish | terminate the remote Kermit. |
| Logout | terminate the remote Kermit and logout. |
| Dir | send a directory to the local Kermit and have it displayed on the screen (argument: file-spec). |
| Remote | send a command to the remote host (argument: commandline). |
| Type | send a file to the local Kermit and display it on the screen (argument: file). |
| CWD | change the current working directory of the remote Kermit (arguments: directory, password). |
| Usage | show disk usage (argument: area). |
| Program | start a program on the host computer (arguments: program-file, program-commands). |
| Erase | delete a file on the host computer (argument: file). |
| Copy | copy a file on the host computer (arguments: source, destination). |
| Rename | rename a file on the host computer (arguments: oldname, newname). |
| Login | login on a remote Kermit in server mode (arguments: user, password, account). |
| Help | get help from the remote host (argument: topic). |
| Status | get the current status of the server. |
