workstation, or in a shared directory on a server to which your workstation is

linked. The ﬁles sent to or received from the UNIX system can be in any

UNIX system directory to which you have access. A UNIX system version

of the Kermit command must be on the host computer.

NOTE: To transfer files, you need to execute part of the file transfer procedure on the Kermit

program running on your client, and another part of the procedure on the Kermit

program running on the host computer; you need to know on which system you are

executing a command.

To transfer ﬁles using the Kermit terminal emulator

1 Start the Kermit terminal emulator on your workstation, and log on to the UNIX

system host computer as described in “Logging on to a UNIX System Host from

a Workstation,” earlier in this appendix.

2 At the host UNIX system prompt, type kermit.

The Kermit program is started on the host. The host Kermit prompt,

C-Kermit>, appears.

NOTE: Type commands on the host system in lowercase letters, as shown. Also, note the

difference between the workstation Kermit prompt and the Kermit prompt on the

host. The workstation Kermit prompt (MS-Kermit>) begins with the letters MS while

the host Kermit prompt (C-Kermit>) begins with the letter C.

pathname

Replace pathname with the UNIX system path and the name of the ﬁle you

want to transfer to your workstation. If the ﬁle is directly under your current

directory on the UNIX system, and not in a subdirectory, you can type just

the ﬁlename.
