[comp.sys.ibm.pc] MS-Kermit file transfers - NEW QUESTIONB

gcook@cps3xx.UUCP (Greg Cook) (12/14/89)

Thank you to all the people who responded to my earlier posting.  I 
think I found the problem I was having and I hope someone can let
me know if I`m on the right track.

The problem:  File transfers do not work between pc and unix.

probable reason:  The pc I use at work is connected directly to a 
local network and I cannot log in to my account on the unix machine
directly.  I need to log in to a vms machine and then telnet to the
unix machine.

Could this be the problem?  I can download text files, but not binary
files, and I can`t upload either.

How do I transfer files between unix and vms machines?

Is there some other method of establishing a connection from vms to
unix so that the MS-kermit will work properly for transfers?

And finally, is kermit available on vms machines?  (I'm lazy and 
asking you instead of checking myself.)

Again, many thanks for any replies.

I looked, and we do have kermit on our VMS machine, so please
disregard that question.

We hve had problems sometimes with kermit transfers through our terminal
server to our Ardent Workstation.  I have found the kermit in Procomm Plus
to be the most robust in dealing with kermit transfers from a PC or compatable
to different Unix machines.
