The instructions in this file may change over time, so be sure to get the current version of this file at: http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/docs/kermit.txt Win32 ----- Install MS-DOS Kermit v3.16 beta if you haven't already: ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/test/bin/msk316.zip Other versions of MS-DOS Kermit can be found here: http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/mskermit.html Extract msk316.exe into your Synchronet EXEC directory and rename it to kermit.exe. Download the latest Synchronet kermit.ini into your EXEC directory: http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/exec/kermit.ini Add a new protocol in SCFG->File Options->Transfer Protocols: Mnemonic (Command Key) K Protocol Name Kermit (MS-DOS Kermit) Access Requirements !UNIX Upload Command Line %!kermit -f %!kermit.ini receive %f Download Command Line %!kermit -f %!kermit.ini send %f Batch UL Command Line %!kermit -f %!kermit.ini receive Batch DL Command Line %!kermit -f %!kermit.ini send @%f Bidir Command Line Uses DSZLOG No UNIX ---- Install G-Kermit (gkermit) on your system if you haven't already: http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/gkermit.html Make sure gkermit is in a directory in your search path (e.g. /usr/bin). Add a new protocol in SCFG->File Options->Transfer Protocols: [File Transfer Protocol] 1: Mnemonic (Command Key) K 2: Protocol Name Kermit (G-Kermit) 3: Access Requirements UNIX 4: Upload Command Line gkermit -q -P -r -a %f 5: Download Command Line gkermit -q -P -s %f 6: Batch UL Command Line 7: Batch DL Command Line gkermit -q -P -s %s 8: Bidir Command Line 9: Uses DSZLOG No Add "gkermit" to SCFG->External Programs->Native Program List. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- v3.10 and earlier versions of Synchronet could not dynamically-generate transfer protocol menus, so newly-added protocols will not appear unless you manually add the new protocol to your text/menu/*prot.asc file(s). v3.11 and later can display dynamically-generated menus, so if you're running this version or later and have the files text/menu/*prot.asc, you can delete them and have new protocols automatically appear on the dynamic menus. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- For a different Kermit setup (Win32 only) which offers more user options, see http://public.sogetel.net/bicephale/MSK.INI /* End of kermit.txt */
