I am having problems with Kermit and Anzio, why?

See our document on Using Kermit in Anzio. This will describe some of the problems associated with Kermit file transfer.

As with Zmodem, it is important to remember that the Kermit protocol is designed to work over serial connections.

We see many cases where someone is running Kermit over a network connected Anzio and expecting it to work as it would over a serial connection. In about 75% of the cases it may work great. But it's the other 25% that is hard to fix. Fortunately, unlike the Zmodem protocol, Kermit and its clones, such as G-Kermit and c-Kermit, are a little better supporting in a network environment - provided you are using the most recent versions.

You can play with some parameters in Anzio, namely windows and get better result. Also check the Columbia Kermit Project, http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/, for release information.

As with Zmodem, we recommend using FTP for network file transfers. You will find FTP about 200% faster and more reliable for moving files between systems.
