I'm having some problems with MSKermit 3.0 that I was hoping that people could shed some light on. I'm using Kermit in server mode to answer the modem and process file transfer commands to and from a Novell Netware drive. The kermit server is started off of the Netware drive (say, F:), reads the mskermit.ini file there, and waits for dialins from the local modem. F:\KERMIT> cat mskermit.ini set file type binary set port 2 set speed 2400 set receive pack 1024 set send pack 1024 set incomplete keep set file warning off F:\KERMIT> kermit server Remote systems call in and issue 'get' and 'send' commands of the following forms: send foo /bar/zap/foo get /bar/zap/foo /tmp/foo2 Note that there are no drives specified. This should attempt to send the file 'foo' to the path 'F:\bar\zap\foo'. And the second command should retrieve the same file. What happens is that kermit begins the transfer and aborts out with "Rejecting file: File size" errors on the PC side. This only happens when trying to send a file to a network drive. "Getting" a file from a network drive works fine. The drive is marked shareable read/write for everybody. The file is created, with a zero size, on the drive before kermit errors out. Does anybody have any idea what is going on here? I can find nothing in the documentation (for 2.32/A, 3.00 isn't out yet is it?) to explain what could be going wrong. Please reply by email, I'll summarize if there is enough interest. Thanks in advance.
