Thank you. That's very helpful.
I don't think FTP is scriptable from PowerTerm, but I'll check that
out.
To recap on your advice, I'm going to have to compile Kermit anyway.
And after I've downloaded the install kit I should replace the file
ckuusy.c with the one in your link. And I should do that before
compiling I assume?
Do I need anything special in order to compile Kermit or will all the
tools be available and pre-installed? Also, do I need any special
permissions?
Thanks
Etienne
