<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello All,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sean (or is it Shawn),</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<UL>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=2>To use it, install gkermit on your Linux
machine</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=2>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. </FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=2>Login to your linux box... (you do not have to su
to root for this either)</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=2>To initiate a transfer from your Linux box to your
Windows machine:</FONT></LI>
<UL>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=2>At the command prompt type: gkermit -s
<path/filename of file you want to send to Windows
machine></FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=2>You should get a message saying "Kermit Ready To
Send"</FONT></LI></UL>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=2>To begin receiving the file on the Windows
box:</FONT></LI>
<UL>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=2>Off the "Transfer" menu in Hyperterminal choose
"Receive File"</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=2>Fill in the directory location of where you want
your file to go under "Place received file in the following
folder"</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=2>In the "Use receiving protocol" drop down box,
select "Kermit"</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=2>Press the "Receive" button and the file is
transfered from your Linux Box to your Windows Box.</FONT></LI></UL></UL>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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 <A
