.TS 10 .P0 .ap .LM10.RM70 .B Kermit is a file transfer program. It allows the transfer of files over terminal lines from a remote Kermit program to the local Kermit program. Kermit-10 can be run in either local or remote modes. In remote mode, transfers take place over the controlling terminal line. Ususally, Kermit-10 is used in remote mode as a "server", meaning that it will accept commands from the other Kermit. In local mode, Kermit-10 will perform transfers over a terminal line other than the controlling terminal. In local mode, Kermit-10 is capable of giving commands to a "server" Kermit. Kermit-10 is put into local mode by using the SET LINE command. .TS 10,20,30,40,50,60 Type HELP for more information on a given commands. Additional information is avaiable for: .B.NF.NJ BYE CONNECT EXIT FINISH GET LOCAL LOG LOGOUT RECEIVE REMOTE SEND SET SHOW STATUS .FILL.JUST .B.I-10 *BYE .I-10 BYE This command will cause Kermit-10 (when in local mode) to tell the other Kermit (which should be in server mode) to exit from Kermit and, if applicable, terminate its job (or process, etc.). When Kermit-10 receives the acknowledgement that this is being done, it will exit to TOPS-10. .b.i+10 Kermit-10>BYE .b .B.I-10 *CONNECT .I-10 CONNECT The CONNECT command will allow you to connect in as a virtual terminal over the line that was specified by the SET LINE command, or to the terminal line specified in the command. The format of the CONNECT command is_: .b.I+10 Kermit-10>CONNECT .b or .b.I+10 Kermit-10>CONNECT device_: .b where device_: is the terminal name to be used. .b or .b.i+10 Kermit-10>CONNECT node_:_: line .b where node_:_: is the node number the terminal is attach to, and line is the line number within that node. .B.I-10 *EXIT .I-10 EXIT The EXIT command will cause Kermit to return to command level. This command is the same as the QUIT command. An example of this command is_: .b.I+10 Kermit-10>EXIT .B.I-10 *FINISH .I-10 FINISH This command will cause Kermit-10 (when in local mode) to tell the other Kermit (which should be in server mode) to exit from Kermit. After receiving the acknowledgement that this is being done, Kermit-10 will prompt for another command. .b.i+10 Kermit-10>FINISH .b .B.I-10 *GET .I-10 GET This command can only be used in local mode. It will cause Kermit-10 to request that the other Kermit (which must be running in server mode) to transmit the specifed file(s) to Kermit-10. .B.I+10 Kermit-10>GET file-specification .b Where "file-specification" is a valid file specification for the system on which the other Kermit is running. .B.I-10 *LOCAL .I-10 LOCAL This set of commands performs actions like getting directory listings, deleting files, etc., on the local system (i.e., the system Kermit-10 is running on). These commands correspond to the commands which Kermit-10 implements in server mode. Additional information is available for the LOCAL commands by typing HELP LOCAL
