[CLUE-Cert] Re: Study Group Questions from 6-27-01

[Tara C. Ford]

Hello All,

It was a pleasure meeting all of you last night.  Just wanted to say thanks for allowing me to join the group... It is good to see that there are other people with the same interests striving to reach the same goals...

Sean (or is it Shawn),
I did find an answer to a question you posed last night regarding transfer of files through a telnet session without having to go through ftp... It turns out that the Kermit project has ported kermit to Linux.  I found it on my RedHat installation disks as gkermit-1.0-8.i386.rpm and installed it.

  a.. To use it, install gkermit on your Linux machine
  b.. On your windows machine open a hyper terminal session and under the "Connect Using" drop down box, choose the tcp/ip winsock and type the ip address of your Linux machine in the "Host Address" section. 
  c.. Login to your linux box... (you do not have to su to root for this either)
  d.. To initiate a transfer from your Linux box to your Windows machine:
    a.. At the command prompt type: gkermit -s <path/filename of file you want to send to Windows machine>
    b.. You should get a message saying "Kermit Ready To Send"
  e.. To begin receiving the file on the Windows box:
    a.. Off the "Transfer" menu in Hyperterminal choose "Receive File"
    b.. Fill in the directory location of where you want your file to go under "Place received file in the following folder"
    c.. In the "Use receiving protocol" drop down box, select "Kermit"
    d.. Press the "Receive" button and the file is transfered from your Linux Box to your Windows Box.
I was breifly reading up on this and it appears that Kermit now supports OpenSSL for secure connections (I will read more in depth later...)  You can find the latest and greatest on Kermit at http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/
