I have been looking for the abilty to do nice multiple file transfers Mac->host
for some time. My only solution so far is to use MacKermit in server mode,
but this requires that the kermit on the host end be either dumb or hacked.
The idea is to give the host kermit the command 'get file*.c' and then quickly
put MacKermit into server mode.
I had no problem with an old version of Kermit-32 (VMS) last summer, and this
school year managed to hack up C-Kermit enough to disable the check against
that. ("You must 'set line' first" is the normal error) After disabling that
check, C-Kermit accepted 'get file*.c' and would work.
Does anyone have a nice batch file transfer ability worked out? It's a real
necessity for some people.
