- I also had problems at first, uploading to a Sun Sparc 2. But I successfully
- uploaded hundreds of files the following way:
-
- % kermit -i -r
-
- <in Terminal, select the Send Binary menu option and pick the file>
-
- I have never had a problem doing it this way, but frequently ran into
- problems trying to start the kermit server mode. Likewise, to download
- files to my pc, I used:
-
- % kermit -i -s filename
-
- <in Terminal, select the Recieve Binary menu option and name the file>
-
- Have fun! And be sure to use at least a 9.6 kbps modem... life is too
- important to waste waiting for file transfers. :-)
