About:
C-Kermit is a comprehensive scriptable communication and file transfer tool for UNIX and VMS systems. It supports a wide range of network protocols including TCP/IP, SSH, and serial connections, making it a versatile solution for system administration and data transfer tasks. Its powerful scripting language allows for automation of complex communication workflows.

Key Features:

Advanced scripting language for automation
Secure file transfer capabilities
Cross-platform compatibility for UNIX and VMS

Use Cases:

Automating remote system administration tasks
Secure file transfers between heterogeneous systems
Managing serial device communications

Alternatives:

OpenSSH – More focused on secure shell access, while C-Kermit offers broader protocol support and scripting.
curl – Excellent for HTTP/data transfer but lacks C-Kermit's serial communication and advanced scripting features.
