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:
  • Multi-protocol support (TCP/IP, SSH, serial, X.25)
  • 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.
