D.3. KERMIT file transfers

The program KERMIT can be used to send files between the PC and the VAX. Here is an example session.

On the PC run kermit by entering

C>KERMIT
KERMIT>C

You are now connected to the VAX. Logon in the usual way: press return until the PAD> prompt appears. Next you must start up KERMIT from the VAX end:

$ CKERMIT

Now inform the VAX Kermit that it should expect to receive a file from the PC:

C-KERMIT>Rec

With KERMIT active on both the VAX and the PC you can hop between the two computers and give instructions from one side or the other. To hop from the VAX to the PC enter Alt-X. To hop to the VAX enter C as before.

Now we will send the file DEMO.GEL from the PC.

C-KERMIT>Alt-X
KERMIT>Send DEMO.GEL

Now hop back to the VAX. Look at the directory to see the transferred file. The next thing to do is to EXIT kermit, log off the VAX, hop back to the PC and EXIT kermit there:

C-KERMIT>Dir

C-KERMIT>Exit

$ lo

Alt-X

KERMIT>Exit

C>
