- BYE CONNECT EXIT FINISH FLEX General GET
- QUIT RECEIVE SEND SERVER SET SHOW STATISTICS
- TAKE TRANSMIT
- 1BYE
- This command will cause Kermit-09 (when in local mode) to tell the
- other Kermit (which should be in server mode) to exit from Kermit
- and, if applicable, terminate its job (or process, etc.). When
- Kermit-09 receives the acknowledgement that this is being done, it
- will exit to FLEX.
-
- Kermit-09>BYE
- 1CONNECT
- The CONNECT command will allow you to connect in as a virtual
- terminal over the line that was specified by the SET LINE command, or
- to the terminal line specified in the command.
-
- Kermit-09>CONNECT
- or
- Kermit-09>CONNECT address
-
- where address is the hexadecimal terminal port address to be used.
- 1EXIT
- The EXIT command will cause Kermit to return to the FLEX command
- level. It is the same as the 'QUIT' command.
-
- Kermit-09>EXIT
- 1FINISH
- This command will cause Kermit-09 (when in local mode) to tell the
- other Kermit (which should be in server mode) to exit from Kermit.
- After receiving the acknowledgement that this is being done,
- Kermit-09 will prompt for another command.
-
- Kermit-09>FINISH
- 1FLEX
- This command provides the user with a possibility to execute FLEX
- commands. Make sure that the command called resides in the utility
- command space (hex C100 - C6FF). If this is not the case, bad things
- might happen!
-
- Kermit-09>FLEX
- or
- Kermit-09>FLEX command
-
- Where command is a legal FLEX command string. There will be a prompt
- for the string when not given.
- 1GENERAL
- Type ctrl-X to abort a single file transfer in progress, or ctrl-Z
- to abort the current file and all coming files.
-
- Typing a ctrl-D during file transfer will toggle debug mode on / off.
- An open debug log file will be closed.
-
- Wild cards known in filespecs are '*', which stands for "match all
- characters" or '?', which stands for "match one character".
- 1GET
- This command will cause the other Kermit (which should be running in
- server mode) to transmit one or more files to Kermit-09. Kermit-09
- must be running as a local Kermit (i.e., no SET LINE REMOTE command
- may be done). Kermit-09 will then request the other Kermit to
- transfer the specified file (or set of files) to Kermit-09. The file
- specification must be in the format of the system on which the server
- Kermit is running.
-
- Kermit-09>GET file-spec [,file-spec...]
-
- Where "file-spec" is any valid file specification on the system on
- which the server Kermit is running.
- 1QUIT
- The QUIT command will cause Kermit to return to the FLEX command
- level. It is the same as the 'EXIT' command.
-
- Kermit-09>QUIT
- 1RECEIVE
- The RECEIVE command is used to put Kermit-09 into receive mode
- waiting for a single file transfer transaction. If no file
- specification is given, Kermit-09 will store the incoming files
- under the names specified in the received packets. If one filespec is
- given, the incoming file will be stored under that name, so that
- strange filenames can be overruled.
-
- Kermit-09>RECEIVE
- or
- Kermit-09>RECEIVE file-spec
-
- Where "file-spec" is a valid FLEX file specification.
- 1SET
- The SET command is used to set various parameters in Kermit.
-
- Commands available:
-
- BAUD BLOCK_CHECK_TYPE CONFIGURATION DEBUG DELAY
- DUPLEX EIGHT_BIT_QUOTE END_OF_LINE ESCAPE FILE_TYPE
- HANDSHAKE INCOMPLETE LINE LOG PACKET_LENGTH
- PADCHAR PADDING QUOTE REPEAT_QUOTE RETRY
- START_OF_PACKET TIMEOUT WARNING
-
- Kermit-09>SET command
- 2BAUD
- This command sets the baud rate to use for communications.
-
- Kermit-09>SET BAUD n
-
- Where n is one of 50, 75, 110, 135, 150, 300, 600, 1200, 1800, 2400,
- 3600, 4800, 7200, 9600, 19200. (If the hardware supports it).
- 2BLOCK_CHECK_TYPE
- The SET BLOCK_CHECK_TYPE command is used to determine the type of
- block check sequence which will be used during transmission. The
- block check sequence is used to detect transmission errors. There
- are three types of block check available. These are the single
- character checksum (default), the two character checksum, and the
- three character CRC (cyclic redundancy check). This command does not
- ensure that the desired type of block check will be used, since both
- Kermit's involved in the transfer must agree on the block check type.
- Kermit-09 will request that the type of block check set by this
- command be used for a transfer. If the other Kermit has also had the
- same block check type requested, then the desired block check type
- will be used. Otherwise, the single character checksum will be used.
- (See Kermit protocol manual for more information.)
-
- Kermit-09>SET BLOCK_CHECK_TYPE n
-
- Where n is a number of 1 - 3.
- 2CONFIGURATION
- This command determines the type of parity and the data length to use
- on the transmission line. Kermit normally uses characters which
- consist of eight data bits with no parity bit. For systems which
- require a specific parity type or data length, Kermit can send
- characters as seven data bits plus a parity bit.
-
- Kermit-09>SET CONFIGURATION number
-
- Where number is one of:
-
- 0. Seven data bits, even parity and two stop bits.
- 1. Seven data bits, odd parity and two stop bits.
- 2. Seven data bits, even parity and one stop bit.
- 3. Seven data bits, odd parity and one stop bit.
- 4. Eight data bits, no parity and two stop bits.
- 5. Eight data bits, no parity and one stop bit (default).
- 6. Eight data bits, even parity and one stop bit.
- 7. Eight data bits, odd parity and one stop bit.
- 2DEBUG
- The SET DEBUG command is used to set the debug type out on the user's
- terminal. The command will accept either the keywords ON, OFF or LOG.
- Kermit-09 can only do debugging type out when running as a local
- Kermit (no SET LINE REMOTE command done). This is because the
- debugging type-out would interfere with the file transfer if it were
- sent to the controlling terminal line in remote mode. If 'LOG' is
- specified, a filename must be given. All debug info will then be
- displayed on the screen as well as in the log file. This can be very
- handy in debugging transfer problems. An eventual open log file will
- be closed if 'ON' or 'OFF' is specified.
-
- Kermit-09>SET DEBUG state
- or
- Kermit-09>SET DEBUG LOG file-spec
-
- Where state is either 'ON' or 'OFF'.
- 2DELAY
- The DELAY parameter is the number of seconds to wait before sending
- data after a SEND command is given. This is used when Kermit-09 is
- running in remote mode to allow the user time to escape back to the
- other Kermit and give a RECEIVE command.
-
- Kermit-09>SET DELAY number-of-seconds
-
- Where number of seconds is the (decimal) number of seconds to wait
- before sending data.
- 2DUPLEX
- The SET DUPLEX command specifies whether characters should be echoed
- locally when CONNECTing to another system. If DUPLEX is set to ON,
- any character typed on the terminal will be echoed immediately
- to the terminal, as well as being sent to the other system. If
- DUPLEX is set to OFF (the default), the characters typed on the
- terminal are only sent to the other system (which would normally be
- echoing the characters).
-
- Kermit-09>SET DUPLEX keyword
-
- Where keyword is either ON or OFF.
- 2EIGHT_BIT_QUOTE
- This command sets the character to be used (when necessary) to quote
- characters which have the eight bit (parity bit) set. This is used
- to transfer eight-bit bytes on a transmission medium which only
- supports seven data bits. The default value is $26 (ASCII "&").
- Eight-bit quoting will only be used if both Kermit's can handle it,
- and the transmission medium does not transmit eight data bits (as
- indicated by the SET CONFIGURATION command).
-
- Kermit-09>SET EIGHT_BIT_QUOTE n
-
- Where n is the ASCII character to use for quoting characters which
- have the eight bit set. The character 'N' will disable eight_bit
- quoting.
- 2END_OF_LINE
- This will set the end of line character the Kermit-09 expects to
- receive from the remote Kermit. This is the character which
- terminates a packet. The default value is $13 (ASCII CR, CTRL-M).
-
- Kermit-09>SET END_OF_LINE n
-
- Where n is the value of the character to use for the end of line
- character (in hex).
- 2ESCAPE
- This command will set the escape character for the CONNECT
- processing. The command will take the ascii value of the character
- to use as the escape character. This is the character which is used
- to "escape" back to Kermit-09 after using the CONNECT command. It
- defaults to ^ (hex 5E). It is usually a good idea to set this
- character to something which is not used (or at least not used very
- much) on the system being to which Kermit-09 is CONNECTing.
-
- Kermit-09>SET ESCAPE character
-
- Where character is the ASCII character to use as the escape character.
- 2FILE_TYPE
- This command will set the file type that Kermit is receiving. A file
- type of ASCII should be used to receive text files which are to be
- used as text files on the FLEX system. The file type BINARY should be
- used for binary files, such as FLEX .CMD files, which need to be kept
- in a format that allows the file to be returned without any changes.
-
- Kermit-09>SET FILE_TYPE type
-
- Where type is either ASCII or BINARY.
- 2HANDSHAKE
- This command sets the characters used to synchronize the data flow.
- If the input buffers become full, the stop character will be sent.
- The start character will be sent if Kermit is able to receive data
- again. The defaults are XOFF (hex 19) and XON (hex 17).
-
- Kermit-09>SET HANDSHAKE start stop
-
- Where start and stop are hexadecimal numbers.
- 2INCOMPLETE
- The SET INCOMPLETE allows the user to determine what is done with a
- file that is not completely received. If the disposition is KEEP, all
- files received will be kept, even if only a portion of the file is
- received. If the disposition is DISCARD (the default), files which
- are not completely received are discarded.
-
- Kermit-09>SET INCOMPLETE keyword
-
- Where keyword is either DISCARD or KEEP.
- 2LINE
- This will set the terminal line that you are using. It may be either
- a hexadecimal address, or 'REMOTE' to indicate that the line from
- which KERMIT gets it's commands will be used. Kermit automatically
- detects the type of interface being used.
-
- Kermit-09>SET LINE address
-
- Where address is either 'REMOTE' or the hexadecimal port address to be
- used.
- 2LOG
- This will open a log file where the data from the CONNECT command
- will be stored. The file will be closed when Kermit is terminated, or
- when the filespec is a dash ("-").
-
- Kermit-09>SET LOG file-spec
-
- Where "file-spec" is a valid FLEX file specification.
- 2PACKET_LENGTH
- This will set the packet length. The value for this parameter must be
- between 10 and 94. Packet lengths outside of this range are illegal.
- The default value is 94.
-
- Kermit-09>SET PACKET_LENGTH n
-
- Where n is a decimal number.
- 2PADCHAR
- This parameter is the padding character that is sent to the remote
- Kermit. The parameter must be a decimal number in the range of 0 to
- 31. The default value is 0 (an ASCII NUL).
-
- Kermit-09>SET PADCHAR n
-
- Where n is the value of the character to be used as a pad character
- (in decimal).
- 2PADDING
- This command will set the number of padding characters that will be
- sent to the other Kermit. The default value is 0.
-
- Kermit-09>SET PADDING n
-
- Where n is the decimal number of padding characters to use.
- 2PROMPT
- This command allows you to set the prompt of Kermit. This is useful
- if you are working with two Kermit's and get confused to which one
- you are talking to.
-
- Kermit-09>SET PROMPT string
-
- Where string is any character string up to twenty characters.
- 2QUOTE
- This will set the quoting character that Kermit-09 will expect on
- incoming messages. This is the character used to quote control
- characters. The default value is $23 (ASCII "#").
-
- Kermit-09>SET QUOTE n
-
- Where n is the ASCII character to be used as a quoting character.
- 2REPEAT_QUOTE
- This command sets the character to be used as the lead-in character
- for a repeat sequence (a string of characters which represents some
- number of characters which are repeated in the data). Both Kermit's
- must support repeat compression for this to be in effect. The
- character set by this command must be in the range $21 ("!") to $3E
- (">") or $7B ("{") to $7E ("~") or $60 ("`"). The character will only
- be used on files which are being transmitted by Kermit-09. The
- REPEAT_QUOTE character used for incoming files is decided on by the
- other Kermit. The default value is $7E ("~").
-
- Kermit-09>SET REPEAT_QUOTE character
-
- Where character is the ASCII character for the repeat quoting
- character. The character 'N' will disable repeat compression.
- 2RETRY
- This command sets the maximum number of times Kermit-09 should try to
- send or receive a specific packet. The default value is 10.
-
- Kermit-09>SET RETRY n
-
- Where n is the decimal number of retries to attempt.
- 2START_OF_PACKET
- This command will set the start of packet character for Kermit. The
- start of packet character must be in the range of 0 to 31 decimal.
- The default value is 1 (ASCII SOH, CTRL-A). This value should only
- be changed if absolutely necessary. It must be set the same in both
- Kermit's.
-
- Kermit-09>SET START_OF_PACKET n
-
- Where n is the value of the character to be used as a start character
- (in hex).
- 2TIMEOUT
- This will set the number of seconds before Kermit-09 will time out
- the attempt to receive a message. This time out is used to handle
- transmission errors which totally lose a message. The default value
- is 5 seconds.
-
- Kermit-09>SET TIMEOUT n
-
- Where n is the number of seconds to wait for a message (in decimal).
- 2WARNING
- This will set the filename conflict warning flag. If Kermit is
- directed to store an incoming file under a name which already exists,
- and the warning is on, an attempt will be made to create a new and
- non-existing filename. If the flag is off, the existing file will be
- overwritten. The default is 'ON'.
-
- Kermit-09>SET WARNING state
-
- Where state is 'ON' or 'OFF'.
- 1SEND
- The SEND command will allow you to send a file(s) to the other
- Kermit. The SEND command will allow file wild card processing as is
- found in UNIX. If Kermit-09 is running in remote mode, the file will
- be sent on the controlling terminal line after waiting the number of
- seconds specified by the SET DELAY command. This gives the user time
- to escape back to the other Kermit and issue a receive command. If
- Kermit-09 is running in local mode, the file will be sent immediately
- on the terminal line specified by the SET LINE command.
-
- Kermit-09>SEND file-spec [,file-spec...]
-
- Where "file-spec" is any normal FLEX file specification. Wild cards
- are fully supported.
- 1SERVER
- This command will cause Kermit-09 to enter server mode. The other
- Kermit can then issue server commands to send and receive files
- without having to give SEND or RECEIVE commands to Kermit-09.
- Kermit-09 may be put into SERVER mode while running as either a
- remote Kermit (transmitting over the controlling terminal line), or
- as a local Kermit (transmitting over a terminal specified by a SET
- LINE command). Note that in order to correctly receive binary files
- while in SERVER mode, a SET FILETYPE BINARY must be done first. At
- this time there is no way for Kermit-09 to determine whether an
- incoming file is ASCII or binary.
-
- Kermit-09>SERVER
- 1SHOW
- The SHOW command will allow you to show the various parameters that
- are set with the SET command.
-
- Commands available:
-
- ALL BAUD BLOCK_CHECK_TYPE CONFIGURATION DEBUG
- DELAY DUPLEX EIGHT_BIT_QUOTE END_OF_LINE ESCAPE
- FILE_TYPE HANDSHAKE INCOMPLETE LINE LOG
- PACKET_LENGTH PADCHAR PADDING QUOTE REPEAT_QUOTE
- RETRY START_OF_PACKET TIMEOUT WARNING
-
- Kermit-09>SHOW command
- 1STATISTICS
- The transfer statistics of Kermit-09 will be displayed. This includes
- the number of characters that have been sent and received from the
- remote Kermit. Also included is an estimate of the effective baud-
- rate of the transfer (only if a hardware clock is available). This
- number is not intended to be exact, but only an indication of what
- range of throughput has been provided.
-
- Kermit-09>STATISTICS
- 1TAKE
- This command allows KERMIT commands to be executed from a file. This
- makes a quick change of parameters possible. The file may contain any
- valid KERMIT commands, including other TAKE commands.
-
- Kermit-09>TAKE file-spec
-
- Where "file-spec" is a valid FLEX file specification.
- 1TRANSMIT
- This command allows you to send a file "as it is", without protocol.
- That might be useful if the other side doesn't have a Kermit.
-
- Kermit-09>TRANSMIT file-spec
-
- Where "file-spec" is a valid FLEX file specification.
-
