- I would like to download a file from cambridge.apple.com which is in .sit
- fort. I can get it from there to my own remote login site using ftp,
- but I cannot get it to my local machine intact. The problem is that the
- remote site has only kermit, not xmodem (at least invoking sb doesn't
- work). Of course by using kermit, I receive an integer number of packets,
- the last of which is partially empty. This last packet then causes a CRC
- error when I run BinHex.
-
- Is there an easy way around this problem, such as truncating the file
- to the correct length? Or a setting in Kermit that would work?
- Then again, I'm not very good at UN*X, and I could be overlooking something
- there. Suggestions?
