6.2.4 File Transfers Using the Command Line
There are two commands used for file transfers, FILE and KERMIT. The FILE command can be used to send
a file using any protocol whereas the KERMIT command is used only for Kermit transfers. The KERMIT
command supports more Kermit features than are available through the FILE command.
For more information on these commands, refer to Chapter 7 (Command Language).
6.2.5 Emulator Kermit Commands
Kermit commands can be entered from the command prompt or from the Kermit prompt. If a Kermit command
is entered from the Kermit prompt, do not precede the command with KERMIT.
Examples: CMD>KERMIT GET FILE
Performs a Kermit GET from the CMD> prompt.
KERMIT>GET FILE
Performs a Kermit GET from the KERMIT> prompt.
For more information on Kermit commands, refer to Chapter 7 (Command Language). For a list of the
commands available on your host Kermit, see your host Kermit manual or help system.
