Could someone tell me how to transfer files from unix to the PC?
I am running PC-VT on my PC and kermit (of course) on the unix side.
PC-VT allows you to shell to MS-KERMIT. I can't seem to get the
sequence of events down... Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.

This really depends on the UNIX setup that you connect to. Some systems require more effort than others. Most UNIX systems run at 7 bits per ASCII character, versus 8 bits which transfer protocols such as XMODEM require. Kermit can be set to use 7 bits. If your emulator allows you to run a kermit from within it (via a shell escape or whatever), then you should run the UNIX kermit (via kermit -s) then run the local kermit, set it to the same parameters as the UNIX kermit, and ask for files. The rest should be automatic. See your kermit documentation for more specific information on which parameters do what and how to set them. Some problems that you might encounter include other networks between your telephone and the UNIX machine (these can eat characters, causing real problems with transfer programs) and incompatibility between the kermits. You should be careful to make sure your kermit is set to the same parameters as the kermit on UNIX. Good luck, jim frost madd@bu-it.bu.edu

Next, inside the unix-KERMIT, type SEND filename [RETURN]. Escape back to your local system (it's probably CTRL-']' 'C' or a similar keystroke sequence) and, at MS-KERMIT type RECEIVE filename [RETURN]. When the transfer is complete, type EXIT at both kermit prompts. If you wish to upload files to the unix machine, just reverse the send/receive commands (i.e., type RECEIVE on the unix machine and SEND on your pc). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- D.

Get something called CTRM -- public domain may be on Genie. Use it all the time -- works great! Translates files between Sun, Apollo, Vax (ultrix) and DOS. Binary transfers as well as ascii. Auto converts ascii. SUpplies you with a C program to act as a slave server on the Unix side for complete compatability. If can't find it anywhere let me know..... davel@cup.portal.com

Ditto on my part. I am having troubles doing binary transfers from my PC to a dialup UNIX host. I am using Crosstalk Mk. 4 which has Kermit capability (along with many others). Could you please post solutions here? Thanx hoctor@osiris

If the file is binary, at the C-Kermit prompt type: set file type binary 3.) next type: send <filename> replacing <filename> with your file name you want to send 4.) go BACK to PC-VT 5.) drop to MS-KERMIT 5.5) set packet size to same as unix if you changed it 6.) type in: rec MS-Kermit should do the rest . . . good luck! -- Phil Ritzenthaler |USnail: University Computer Services Computer Graphics Research Consultant | 241 Math-Science Bldg.
