- On Ultrix systems (I'm not sure if this is a general Unix option)
- you can have a .kermrc file which automatically specifies things like this.
- For example, mine looks like
-
-
- set send packet-length 1000
- set receive packet-length 1000
- set block-check 3
- set file type binary 8
-
- Since I always do binary transfers. (I zip text files first.)
