c-kermit anyone?

Firstly, I would like to apologise at what I have no doubt is a very easy query. However, I have been roaming around the c-Kermit homepage for sometime now and I have yet to find an answer to my problem. I am trying to write short script that will automatically retrieve a file. To do this I am writing a .psl file using PowerTerms scripting language. My code is as you can imagine very simple. Something like the following:

Send “username”<cr>
Waiting for password 10<cr>
Send “password”
Send “Kermit” <cr>
Send “send filename” <cr>
Send “Ctrl-\ c” <cr>
Send “Receive C:\filename” <cr>
Send “exit” <cr>

As I understand it ctrl-\ and then a literal c is an escape sequence that should return me to the Kermit prompt, however this only occurs after the message “Too many retries”. I find it odd that it cannot connect to the file because If I do the receive file part through the GUI (i.e. Communications > Receive File > Kermit) it has no problems. I have tried using ftp as a work around, though when trying to send, ftp simply states that it is “not connected”. So yeah bit stumped as to why Kermit works through PowerTerm but not on the command line. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Oh and if you haven't guessed im a bit of novice.

UPSCLI_LIST_NEXT(3)						    NUT Manual						       UPSCLI_LIST_NEXT(3)

NAME
upscli_list_next - retrieve list items from a UPS SYNOPSIS
#include <upsclient.h> int upscli_list_next(UPSCONN_t *ups, int numq, const char **query, int *numa, char ***answer) DESCRIPTION
The upscli_list_next() function takes the pointer ups to a UPSCONN_t state structure, and the pointer query to an array of numq query elements. It performs a read from the network and expects to find either another list item or the end of a list. You must call upscli_list_start(3) before calling this function. This function will return 1 and set values in numa and answer if a list item is received. If the list is done, it will return 0, and the values in numa and answer are undefined. Calling this function after it returns something other than 1 is undefined. QUERY FORMATTING
You may not change the values of numq or query between the call to upscli_list_start(3) and the first call to this function. You also may not change the values between calls to this function. ANSWER FORMATTING
The contents of numa and answer work just like a call to upscli_get(3). The values returned by upsd(8) are identical to a single item request, so this is not surprising. ERROR CHECKING
This function checks the response from upsd(8) against your query. If the response is not part of the list you have requested, it will return an error code. When this happens, upscli_upserror(3) will return UPSCLI_ERR_PROTOCOL. RETURN VALUE
The upscli_list_next() function returns 1 when list data is present, 0 if the list is finished, or -1 if an error occurs. It is possible to have an empty list. The function will return 0 for its first call in that case. SEE ALSO
