No. We considered this, but protocol transfers are time sensitive and should
not hang on waiting for human intervention to proceed, because if the human is
distracted, the other Kermit could easily time out waiting for a reply.
Instead we have:
. The SET FILE COLLISION mechanism, which works without human intervention,
but kicks in only if the incoming file has the same name as an existing
file.
. File-transfer interruption. If you are receiving a group of files, the
Kermit program lets you type a character (usually X or F) to cancel the
current file and go on to the next one.
. In C-Kermit 6.0 we have the SEND LIST. So if it's the one on the far end,
you can build a specific list of files to be sent a priori. The list can
contain any mixture of text and binary files, wilcards and simple
filenames, files from any mixture of directories, etc, and each file can
have its own "as-name".
One of these techniques should fit your requirements.
