Transferring Files

The next section of this manual shows an example of a file transfer using these steps with the Kermit file transfer program. Before you use the Kermit program or any other file transfer program, consult the documentation for that program.

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.
