A packet-oriented public-domain file transfer protocol designed at Columbia University .

a set of file transfer protocols, and a terminal emulator that is widely used on PC's and Unix computers

Common protocol and program that enables you to transfer files between your personal computer and the host computer.

A communications protocol used for file transfer or for terminal emulation.

This an asynchronous file transfer protocol usually used for text transfers that was developed at Columbia University in 1981.

A file transfer and terminal emulation program, which is now all but obsolete. See Network Services Kit.

A file transfer and terminal emulation protocol not used very often anymore.

Is a common program used for transferring files and terminal emulation. It is available from

program developed at Columbia University to transfer file s between computers

A communications protocol that allows you to transfer files between your computer and on-line network systems. Kermit has built-in error correction and can handle binary (non-text) files.

A simple modem protocol for transferring files between Macs and/or PCs, or from these to bigger computers. Since TCP/IP was adopted as the official Internet protocol in 1983, most PC software has abandoned Kermit. However, Kermit and its cousins X-, Y-, and Z-modem are still needed in the absence of an ethernet or SLIP connection.

An communications protocol that makes the error-free transmission of program files via the telephone system easier.

A protocol for file transfers between computers using asynchronous communications connections (usually involving at least one microcomputer) developed at Columbia University, New York, and named after the Muppet frog.

A file transfer protocol used widely in moving files and data between computers of different types.

This is a protocol for transferring files during direct dial-up communications. Kermit is sound but old and can be very slow.

An error-checking file-transfer protocol used to copy files from one computer to another. Also the name given to the public domain software distributed by Columbia University, which supports this protocol.

A protocol or program used to exchange (upload and download) files between computer systems. Often used to exchange files between a personal computer and another system via a modem.

A file transfer protocol developed and freely distributed by Columbia University. Kermit is noted for accuracy but not speed.

Popular file-transfer and terminal-emulation program. L-L-L

A common terminal emulation program and file transfer protocol that can be used across dialup and telnet connections. It is much slower than xmodem, ymodem,...

A popular file transfer protocol developed by Columbia University. See also Zterm, Xterm.

communications: A telecommunications protocol developed at Columbia University and widely used on UNIX machines. It can be used on a wide variety of computers from mainframes to micros. Kermit's big claim to fame is that it works across eight-bit and seven-bit machines and it can transfer batches of files at a time. While not terribly efficient, it is sometimes a necessity for transfer involving different systems. Not recommended for PC to PC transfers.

A protocol for file transfers once widely used in public-domain communications software packages in the PC world. Originated in PC-mainframe file transfer software from Columbia University.

A popular file transfer and terminal emulation program.

A protocol used for transferring files over a dial-up connection that is commonly used on BBS systems.

A popular file transfer protocol developed by Columbia University. Because Kermit runs in most operating environments, it provides an easy method of file transfer. Kermit is not the same as FTP. Commonly used by universities and almost never in the business world in 1998.

A file-transfer protocol developed at Columbus University and available for a variety of computers, from PCs to mainframes.

A communications software program that allows your system to gain access to the network through a modem, with a TAU, or directly. Kermit is also responsible for file transferring and should be used when uploading or downloading your files.

A popular file transfer protocol developed by Columbia University. Because Kermit runs in most operating environments, it provides an easy method of file transfer. Kermit is not the same as FTP See also File Transfer Protocol. WWWebfx Home Page

n. A file transfer protocol used in asynchronous communications between computers. Kermit is a very flexible protocol used in many software packages designed for communications over telephone lines. Compare Xmodem, Ymodem, Zmodem.

An asynchronous file transfer protocol developed at Columbia University, noted for its accuracy over noisy lines. Several versions exist. Contrast with Xmodem, Ymodem, Zmodem.

Protocol for transferring files over the modem connection. It's very slow

Kermit is a communications program that runs on many different computers including Macintosh and DOS. It can instruct a microcomputer to dial a modem where the user can then log into a Unix computer system and read electronic mail. Kermit is not a windows program, so commands given via a computer mouse do not work. It takes input from keyboard commands. It makes a microcomputer emulate or act like a vt100 terminal.
