As a new Mac user I would appreciate help from more experienced
file transfer gurus. I have been succesful transferring files
with Red Ryder by typing:
% kermit -s filename
on Dopey (or whatever machine) and then selecting "Receive File, Kermit..."
from the Red Ryder menu. A similar procedure works in the other direction.
My complaint with this procedure is that if I want to transfer 100 files
I have a long way to go doing them one by one.
So... the questions are:
1) Is there a real Kermit for the Mac?
2) Does Red Ryder support multiple file transfer without intervention?
3) Does any other comm package handle this well?
4) Should I not be using Kermit?
and out of the blue:
5) What do I need to do to get a document on the Mac that I can edit
with MacWord (or any editor) that isn't full of funny boxes where the
newlines were?
Thanks in advance,
--
