Cool! I didn't knew that! Thanks a lot!
But I wonder if I have to install KERMIT in the Linux PC... Is the package "ckermit" what I need?

Right, fpmurphy, just what I was planning to point out, given the answers

mgis, Have You examined the options in Kermit? Once You're connected to the host (Linux) with a command line interface, You can initiate a transfer, and then return to Your client (Dos) with a special key sequence and locally give the command for start receiving data. Have You tried that? Or is that something You didn't know of?

PS Sorry, I had to restart my 2400 baud modem and missed some... Yes You need to have kermit software on the host and I guess ckermit is a good choice. You start it at the host (kermit), and type at its prompt something like send <file>, return to Your client with a key sequence that I can't remember (it was something like Ctrl-] I think) but of course You'll find it in the docs of ckermit.

It works! Thank you for your helpful suggest. I didn't knew that KERMIT may transfer files! If anyone is interested; I done the following.

On the receiver (DOS)

Code:

[C:\KERMIT] MS-Kermit> set speed 9600
[C:\KERMIT] MS-Kermit> set port COM1
[C:\KERMIT] MS-Kermit> server

On the sender (GNU/Linux - Unix)

Code:

# kermit
(/root/) C-Kermit> set line /dev/ttyS0
(/root/) C-Kermit> set speed 9600
(/root/) C-Kermit> send <here_goes_file_to_send)
(/root/) C-Kermit>

Now the DOS pc shows a bit of garbage, but the files is safely in the C:\Kermit directory


Thanks again!

Great, I ponder to much over my writing and there You go finding it all out by Yourself
Yes there's a server mode as well...
Good luck with copying!
