For transferring stuff (the question asked about .sda's), I reccomend
the following:  Make sure that when you ftp the original file, the
binary setting has been engaged.. Otherwise, the 8th bit is stripped.
Once it's gotten to the machine and you're ready to kermit stuff down:

Engage the remote kermit (usually typing either kermit or ckermit will
do this).  If you plan on transferring a binary file, make sure that
both the remote and local file-type are set to binary.  This is done
by the command: set file type binary.  Now use the send command to
send a file to your machine, escape to local kermit and type receive.
I've experienced some small difficulty with my drive when doing this
and have found that issuing a drive reset followed by initialize makes
it much happier.

The only server relate command implemented on kermit65 is get.  To use
the server, type server on the remote kermit, escape to local kermit
and use the get command to get the files you wish.  type: finish  when
you're done with the server.

Hope this helps.

Fiat Lux!
