Transferring a File With the Kermit File Transfer Program

This section describes a file transfer from a PC to a host with the Kermit file transfer program. In this

In Figure 6-1, both the PC and the host are running the Kermit file transfer program, and the PC sends a
file to the host through the terminal server. The following example shows how you can apply the steps in
the basic procedure to this type of transfer.
1. Ensure that both the PC and the host are running the same file transfer program, and that the PC is
running a terminal emulation program.
From the PC DOS prompt, Chris brings up the Kermit program. When the PC invokes the Kermit
program, it displays the Kermit prompt.
