Part1.
I would like to know if there is a program or Unix command that will make a text file out put or similar listing of all the directories & files on a SUN Ultra5 computer running SunOS 5.6?
Part2.
I am using a Windows2000 computer to telnet to the SUN Ultra5 computer on our office network, and would like to know(if the above program does exist) how to transfer a file from the W2K PC to the SUN computer using Telnet, and also from the SUN PC to the W2K PC?
Please let me know if there is any more information you require.
Welcome to the world of unix...we hope you enjoy your stay.
Part 1. The unix command "ls -Al" (without the quotes) will give you a listing of the files and directories in the current directory. You can do a "ls -Al > filename" which will put the output of the "ls -Al" command into a filename of your choosing. If you do a "ls -al" you will see all of the files plus the hidden . (dot) files.
Part 2. I'm not sure if telnet is what you should use. Telnet will allow you to connect to a unix box from a pc, but I'm not sure you can use it to transfer files. Best bet is to search the man pages on the unix box for ftp, i.e. man ftp.
Hope this gets you started. Good luck!

This is a slightly lobotomized kermit. The help command, the
script facility, and the automatic dial support have been re-
moved. The ? and ESC commands still work, so there is still rea-
sonable built-in help. The only V7 kermit feature that does not
work is the ability to see whether there are input characters
waiting. This means that you will not be able to ask for status
during a file transfer (though this is not critical, because ker-
mit prints a dot every so often and other special characters
whenever there is an error or timeout). Start kermit, and then
type the following to open a 2400 baud session, for example:
(It is more convenient if you put these commands in .kermrc in
your home directory, so that they get done automatically whenever
you run kermit.) This will connect you to the modem or whatever
on the serial port. Now log into the other system. When you
want to transfer files, run kermit on the other system. To it,
type This puts its kermit into a sort of slave mode where it ex-
pects commands from the kermit running on your MINIX system. Now
come back to the command level on MINIX kermit, by typing the es-
cape character followed by c. (Kermit will tell you the current
escape character when you do the connect command.) At this point
you can issue various commands. Your kermit will coordinate
things with kermit on the other machine so that you only have to
type commands at one end. Common commands are
Filenames can include wildcards. By default, kermit works in a
system-independent, text mode. (In effect it assumes that the
whole world is MS-DOS and converts end of line and file names ac-
cordingly.) To send binary files, you will want to type on both
ends before starting any transfers. This disables CR LF to new-
line conversion. If both of your systems are some flavor of
UNIX, you might as well put this in .kermrc on both ends and run
in binary mode all the time. Also, if both systems are UNIX it
is recommended that you use on both ends. This causes it to keep
file names unchanged, rather than mapping to legal MS-DOS names.
Here is a typical .kermrc for use on
On the other end of the line, for example, the host at your local
computer center to which you want to transfer files, a typical
profile might be:
Kermit has many other options and features. For a pleasant and
highly readable description of it, see the following book:
