But in order to use it you have to be aware of how to fix it's problem with uploading. Before you can upload you have to download a file. This applies every time you enter into Kermit on the host computer. I'm not sure why this works, but it does. What I did was to create a null file in my space on the host computer. Then whenever I wanted to upload a file I would enter the Kermit command on the host computer download the null file . After downloading the null file I could upload ad many files as I liked as long as I did not quit Kermit on the host computer. David E.
