KERMIT is a family of programs that do reliable file transfer between computers over TTY lines. These are the commands for the IBM VM/CMS version. SEND Sends a file or file group from the IBM to the remote host. The name of each file is passed to the remote host in a special control packet, so that the remote host can store it with the same name. Wildcarding of files is allowed. RECEIVE Receive a file or file group from the remote host. If an incoming file name is not legal, then attempt to transform it to a similar legal name, e.g. by deleting excessive characters. If the file already exists, Kermit-CMS will append the received file to the existing one provided the record formats of the two are the same. SET Establish various system-dependent parameters, such as max- imum packet length, logical record length, record format,etc. SHOW Display the current value of any variable that can be changed via the SET command. STATUS Give information about the previous file transfer. Kermit-CMS will either indicate that transmission was successful, or display an error message. CMS Issue a CMS command from within Kermit-CMS. CP Issue a CP command from within Kermit-CMS. HELP Type this message. EXIT Exit from KERMIT back to the host operating system. QUIT Synonym for EXIT. ?
