I'm in need of a method to transfer several files (created by a
DOS database application which resides on one Novell File server)
to a remote LAN (with a second Novell File server and the equivalent
DOS database applcation).

Q: What are some ways I could do this?

My initial thought is to use some sort of async communication
program which supports scripting.  Something along the lines of
having a batch file (at each site) invoke the respective
comm program (MS-Kermit?) at a certain time.  Then, via a script
on the originating end, transfer the files to the host PC on the
receiving end.

Q: Is this the way to go?
Q: Can anyone recommend any specific programs/scripts?

*ANY* help would be *GREATLY* appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
