C-Kermit 7.0

Communications Software for UNIX, VMS, VOS, AOS/VS, QNX, Plan 9, . . .
Beta.07, 21 May 1999

This page last updated: 4 July 1999

C-Kermit is a combined serial and network communication software package offering a consistent, medium-independent, cross-platform approach to connection establishment, terminal sessions, file transfer, character-set translation, numeric and alphanumeric paging, and automation of communication tasks.

The current version of C-Kermit is 6.0, released in September 1996:

C-Kermit 6.1 was in public testing throughout most of 1998, but was never released except as Kermit 95 1.1.16 and 1.1.17. The changes made after May 1998 were significant enough to warrant the version upgrade to 7.0. All the features of C-Kermit 7.0 that are not specific to UNIX, VMS, etc, will also be included in Kermit 95 1.1.18, which will be released approximately concurrently with C-Kermit 7.0

C-Kermit 7.0 entered public Beta testing January 30, 1999, as Beta.04. Beta.07 was released on May 21, 1999:

RELATION TO KERMIT 95

Although C-Kermit and Kermit 95 share much of the same code base, they are not the same product. Each has features not found in the other; for example, Kermit 95 has built-in terminal emulation and integrated XYZMODEM protocol, whereas in C-Kermit these functions are accomplished externally. C-Kermit supports X.25 connections on certain platforms but K-95 does not support X.25. And so on. Each Kermit 95 release incorporates the Kermit file-transfer, command parsing, scripting, and certain other features of the current C-Kermit program (and thus the syntax of scripts is identical). Obviously, the platform-specific aspects are different.

This is just a brief list; the complete story runs to more than 200 printed pages, and can be found in the ckermit2.txt file, which is a supplement to Using C-Kermit, 2nd Edition.

For even more detail, you can read the day-by-day edit history in the ckc195.txt file, as well as all the Alpha and Beta test announcements in the ck61*.txt and ck70*.txt files in the kermit/test/text/ directory.

The following sections present an overview of several of C-Kermit 7.0's new features. After these come links to the software itself.

[Top]

INTERNET KERMIT SERVICE DAEMON

In UNIX only, C-Kermit 7.0 can be set up as an Internet daemon under inetd, similar to an FTP server, using a TCP port and Telnet options assigned for this purpose by the Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA) and described in Internet Drafts currently under review: 

  http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/standards.html

The Internet Kermit Service Daemon (IKSD) can be accessed in client/server mode from any Kermit client (similar to how FTP works), but can also be accessed directly at its prompt, which opens up a whole new world of automation possibilities. Other advantages over FTP include:

(*) Some FTP servers also support this. Kerberos and SRP available only in the USA and Canada.

Note that timestamps, permissions, text/binary mode switching, and directory tree transfer are not restricted to UNIX-to-UNIX connections, but also work with Kermit clients on other platforms including Windows 95/98/NT, OS/2, and VMS (as appropriate -- e.g. permissions don't apply to Windows).

A prototype IKSD is available for public access at: 

  kermit.columbia.edu 1649

Anonymous logins are welcome: give a user ID of "anonymous" or "ftp", and supply your email address as the password. You may log in interactively on a Telnet connection: 

  telnet kermit.columbia.edu 1649
  Username: anonymous
  Password: abc@xyz.com

Or you can make a client/server connection as follows: 

  set host kermit.columbia.edu 1649  
  remote login anonymous abc@xyz.com

When you use C-Kermit 7.0 itself as the client, you will have a new "tight coupling" between client and server, in which each partner tracks the "mode" of the other (prompt, connect, server, etc). When you make an anonymous connection to this server, you will find yourself in the /pub/ftp tree, and can access any directories or files you could access with anonymous FTP to same server.

Links:

IMPORTANT:
C-Kermit 7.0 Beta.02 (a closed preliminary Beta) or earlier should not be used to access the IKSD. Testing revealed that a protocol change was needed; thus Beta.02 is incompatible with Beta.03 and later for Internet Kermit Service access. All C-Kermit 7.0 Alpha and Beta copies prior to Beta.03 should be discarded.

EXTERNAL COMMUNICATION PROGRAM INTERFACE

The UNIX version of C-Kermit 7.0 can now be used through any other communications program whose user interface goes through standard input and standard output. This allows you (for example) to use all the scripting and file transfer features of C-Kermit through clients of various services that C-Kermit might not support directly (e.g. a SOCKS Telnet client, a cu or tip program that has access to a dialout device that Kermit does not, rlogin connections without being root). The command is PIPE: 

  pipe command-to-use
for example: 
  pipe cu -l tty04
  pipe rlogin xyzcorp.com
  pipe srp-telnet xenon.stanford.edu

[Top]

SECURITY AND PRIVACY

UNIX C-Kermit can now be built with support for MIT's Kerberos IV or Kerberos V and/or Stanford University's Secure Remote Password (SRP) protocol. So far this has been done only for Linux and SunOS. New makefile entries need to be added for other UNIX platforms to link with the appropriate libraries, but the UNIX code to use them is all written. Additional tinkering (and volunteer programming) would be required for other platforms such as VMS, VOS, etc. Kermit 95" 1.1.17 (for Windows 95/98/NT and OS/2) also supports Kerberos IV and V as well as SRP; CLICK HERE for details.

Experimental support for SSL/TLS is also present, but needs users and testers to help define the implementation.

These protocols allow for mutually authenticated Telnet connections without sending passwords over the network, and optionally also for fully encrypted sessions. The encryption modules are not part of the regular C-Kermit package due to USA export law. If you are interested in testing Kerberos or SRP, send us e-mail.

NEW TELNET ENGINE

COMMAND SWITCHES

As of version 6.1, C-Kermit allows for optional command modifiers called switches.

A switch is a keyword beginning with a slash (/). Some switches accept values as operands. Switches affect only the command with which they are included; thus their affect is local, not global like SET commands. Here are some examples: 

  send oofa.txt                              ; No switches
  send /binary oofa.zip                      ; A switch without a value
  send /protocol:zmodem oofa.zip             ; A switch with a value
  send /text /delete /as-name:x.x oofa.txt   ; Several switches
Switches bring a new level of flexibility to Kermit's command language. For example, they can be used for file selection in file-transfer commands: 
  send /after:8-Feb-1998_10:28:01 /larger-than:10000 /except:*.log *.*
or for disposition of the source file after transfer: 
  send /binary /delete *.zip
or for mailing or printing: 
  send /mail /subject:{Here is the recipe you wanted} lasagna.txt 
  send /print:{-PLaserWriter2 -#3} lasagna.ps
or whether to pass the file through a filter, or to descend directories recursively, or to recover an interrupted transfer from the point of failure, and so on, in any sensible combination.

Switches have been added not only to the SEND command, but also to most other file-transfer commands, as well as to the CONNECT, SET LINE, SET HOST, DIRECTORY, DELETE, PURGE, TYPE, RENAME, COPY, STATISTICS, and others. Certain commands including DIRECTORY, DELETE, PURGE, and TYPE let you set default switches to match your preferences so you don't have to type them each time.

REGULAR EXPRESSIONS

A regular expression is a string that includes special notation for pattern matching. C-Kermit 7.0 / K95 1.1.18 supports regular expressions in several places:

Regular expressions are also called wildcards, especially when used for filename matching, as they are in the UNIX version and in K-95 1.1.18. C-Kermit 7.0 supports the following notation:

*
Matches any sequence of zero or more characters. For example: "ck*.c" matches all files whose names start with "ck" and end with ".c", including "ck.c".

?
Matches any single character. For example, "ck?.c" matches all files whose names are exactly 5 characters long and start with "ck" and end with ".c". When typing commands at the prompt, you must precede any question mark to be used for matching by a backslash (\) to override the normal function of question mark, which is providing menus and file lists.

[abc]
Square brackets enclosing a list of characters matches any single character in the list. Example: ckuusr.[ch] matches ckuusr.c and ckuusr.h.

[a-z]
Square brackets enclosing a range of characters; the hyphen separates the low and high elements of the range. For example, [a-z] matches any character from a to z.

{string1,string2,...}
Braces enclose a list of strings to be matched. For example: ck{ufio,vcon,cmai}.c matches ckufio.c, ckvcon.c, or ckcmai.c. The strings may themselves contain metacharacters, bracket lists, or indeed, other lists of strings.

BINARY MODE IS NOW DEFAULT

C-Kermit 7.0 and its derivatives (including Kermit 95 1.1.18 and later) go to extraordinary lengths to transfer every file in the most appropriate mode, text or binary, automatically. Only in a few rare cases will the automatic methods fail to determine the appropriate mode for a particular file. When they do, however, it is almost always better to use binary mode, since this leaves the file intact and unchanged, rather than changing its characters or record format, and allows for recovery in case of broken transmissions. For this reason, the default file type (that is, the one that is used in the absence of any other information or instructions) in C-Kermit 7.0 has been changed from text to binary.

Of course you can change the default back to text simply by giving a SET FILE TYPE TEXT command (or putting it in your C-Kermit customization file) and you can also override the default and/or the automatic methods on a per-transfer basis (by using the new /BINARY and /TEXT switches on the SEND and GET commands) or even a per-file basis (by creating a SEND-LIST).

Also with this change comes the new SET FILE INCOMPLETE AUTO command, also the new default, which causes incompletely received files to be kept for binary-mode transfers and discarded for text-mode ones, since the main reason to keep incompletely received files is to allow recovery, which is possible only for binary-mode transfers.

[Top]

AUTOMATIC TEXT/BINARY-MODE SWITCHING

C-Kermit 6.1 and later (and Kermit 95 1.1.16 and later) automatically choose the appropriate transfer mode, text or binary, for each file they send by following a rather complex procedure, which includes end-to-end "like system" recognition, whether character-set translation has been requested, and other factors. When the two ends recognize each other as "alike" (e.g. both are some form of UNIX) and character-set translation has not been requested, all files are transferred in binary mode. This improves performance, removes any possibility of "corruption" by inappropriate character-set or record-format conversions, and allows for recovery of interrupted transfers.

When the two systems do not recognize each other as alike, or character-set translation has been requested, the file sender chooses text and binary mode on a per-file basis by matching each file's name with a list of patterns. For example, if a file's name matches the pattern "*.txt" it is sent in text mode, whereas if it matches "*.zip" it is sent in binary mode. A comprehensive list of patterns is preconfigured, and commands are provided for you to edit the list, as well as to disable or re-enable this feature.

Filename pattern matching allows a file group to be sent between unlike systems (e.g. from UNIX to VMS) without having to separate the text and binary files, with full record-format and character-set conversion performed on text files, and binary files transferred without conversion, automatically. (NOTE: The filename pattern-matching feature is not used in VMS C-Kermit, which has a different method of accomplishing the same thing.)

[Top]

PRESEVERATION OF FILE PERMISSIONS

The UNIX and VMS versions of C-Kermit 7.0 now include each file's permissions (protection code) among the transmitted file attributes. This is useful mainly in UNIX, so avoid loss of "execute" permission for programs or shell scripts during transfer. However, the mechanism also works across platforms so, for example, a UNIX file with execute permission will also have execute permission after being transferred to VMS (and vice-versa).

[Top]

DIRECTORY-TREE TRANSFER

C-Kermit 7.0, when used in conjunction with Kermit 95 1.1.16 or later, MS-DOS Kermit 3.16 or later, or C-Kermit 7.0 itself, can perform "recursive" file transfers, in which all the (selected) files in the given directory are sent, plus all the files in all the subdirectories of the given directory, and all the files in their subdirectories, and so on.

Such transfers can take place not only between computers with similar file systems (such as Solaris and AIX), but also between dissimilar systems (like Windows 95 and HP-UX or VMS). Directories are created as needed during the transfer process.

Furthermore, any mixture of text and binary files can be accommodated via filename-pattern matching, as described in the previous section. This allows, for the first time anywhere (as far as we know) transfer of entire directory trees (entire file systems if you start at the root) between dissimilar computers in a single operation without the use of intermediate archives such as tar or ZIP.

[Top]

FILE-TRANSFER PIPES AND FILTERS

In some versions of C-Kermit 7.0 (notably the UNIX version) it is now possible to pass outbound or incoming files through a "filter" as part of the transfer process. Similarly, it is now possible to send the output of an arbitrary command or program, or to receive into the standard input of a command or program. For example, you may now tell C-Kermit to send the output of a pipeline composed of tar and gzip, and another C-Kermit on the other end to receive to a pipeline composed of gunzip and tar. Or in case you have a text file written in a character set that C-Kermit doesn't know about, you can pass it through a translation filter. You can even use this feature to accomplish encrypted file transfers on connections that are not already encrypted otherwise.

PERFORMANCE

File-transfer performance has been improved in several ways:

Streaming protocol may be used in conjunction with Kermit 95 1.1.16, MS-DOS Kermit 3.16, or C-Kermit 7.0 itself.

When full unprefixing and streaming are used with a large packet length, C-Kermit's file-transfer throughput is comparable with FTP; here are some typical text and binary file transfers between two UNIX workstations with the new C-Kermit over a local 10Mbps Ethernet (note the new brief file-transfer display option, the automatic switching between binary and text mode, and the new more-accurate statistics):

 SENDING wart     (binary)   (23985 bytes): OK (0.040 sec, 599625 cps)
 SENDING wermit   (binary) (1323517 bytes): OK (4.490 sec, 294769 cps)
 SENDING ckcnet.c (text)    (269168 bytes): OK (0.790 sec, 340718 cps)
 SENDING ckwart.o (binary)   (25332 bytes): OK (0.040 sec, 633299 cps)
 SENDING ckufio.c (text)    (112341 bytes): OK (0.290 sec, 387382 cps)
 SENDING ckuusr.o (binary)  (132340 bytes): OK (0.180 sec, 735222 cps)
 SENDING ckuus2.o (binary)  (183168 bytes): OK (0.300 sec, 610559 cps)
 SENDING ckuus3.o (binary)  (154492 bytes): OK (0.200 sec, 772459 cps)
 SENDING ckuus6.o (binary)  (133128 bytes): OK (0.180 sec, 739599 cps)

C-Kermit 7.0 also responds much more quickly to connection loss and external interruptions during file transfer.

FAST OUT OF THE BOX

C-Kermit has included performance features like long packets for more over a decade, with others (sliding windows, control-character unprefixing, and now streaming) added over the years. Nevertheless, the popular perception is still that "Kermit is slow". This is due in part to the many third-party implementations that, indeed, are slow, as well to the persistence of fifteen-year-old Kermit programs from the Kermit project itself.

Of course modern Kermit protocol and software (since about 1990) can go as fast as you care to make it go, but its default tuning has always been for robustness rather than speed. It turns out, unfortunately, that first impressions matter most. If it's slow out of the box, few will make the effort to learn how to make it go fast, or to understand why it is delivered with slow tuning.

Therefore C-Kermit 7.0 is delivered with fast tuning:

Let's hope the new default tuning helps to get the word out.

HOW TO GET IT

You can obtain the current C-Kermit 7.0 Beta test in any of several archive formats via anonymous ftp by clicking on the following links:

cku195.tar.Z
Source code and text files for UNIX and VMS, UNIX tar archive, compress format.
cku195.tar.gz
Source code and text files for UNIX and VMS, UNIX tar archive, gzip format.
cku195.zip
Source code and text files for UNIX and VMS, ZIP archive (text files in DOS format). NOTE: In VMS, use "unzip -aa" = "treat ALL files as text files".
ckl195.zip
Source code and text files for Stratus VOS, ZIP archive (text files in DOS format).

These archives contain complete UNIX and VMS source code as well as documentation updates, installation instructions, hints and tips files, initialization files, scripts, demos, etc.

Beta-test versions of Kermit 95 1.1.18 (based on C-Kermit 7.0) are available upon request to registered users of K-95. Send requests by email to kermit-support@columbia.edu with a subject of "K95 IKS BETA REQUEST". Include your K-95 serial number and current version number in the body of the letter.

Trouble with FTP?
o CLICK HERE for FTP hints and tips; or:
o Forget FTP -- Use Kermit!
UNIX instructions:
Download the desired zip or compressed tar archive from the list above. Then:
  1. Download into an empty directory;
  2. uncompress (uncompress, gunzip, unzip, etc, as appropriate)
  3. if it's a tar file, untar ("tar xvf cku195.tar");
  4. "make xxx", where xxx is the appropriate target from the makefile for your platform (read the comments at the top of the makefile).
See the ckuins.txt file for greater detail (for example, instructions on how to install the binary so it can access your dialout devices and UUCP lockfiles). See the ckccfg.txt file for information about compile-time options for customizing the feature set.

You can also download individual UNIX binaries from the list below, but in case of library or other version mismatches, it is better to build from source if you can.

VMS instructions:
First fetch the most appropriate VMS binary from the list below; pick a VAX binary for a VAX or an Alpha binary for an Alpha. The VMS version number for the binary must be less than or equal to your VMS version. If you want to make TCP/IP connections, pick the binary for the appropriate TCP/IP product (TGV Multinet, DEC UCX, etc), again with a version number less than or equal to yours; if none can be found, then try the "nonet" version. After downloading the chosen binary, read the ckvins.txt file.

If you want to build from source code, fetch one of the archives above if you have VMS-based unpacking tools, otherwise get the source files individually as described just below.

You can also retrieve the text files only (without the source code) in the following archives:

cku195txt.tar.Z
Text files for UNIX and VMS, UNIX tar archive, compress format.
cku195txt.tar.gz
Text files for UNIX and VMS, UNIX tar archive, gzip format.
cku195txt.zip
Text files for UNIX and VMS, ZIP archive (with text files in DOS format)

Source code and text files are also available separately in the kermit/test/text/ directory. These include files for platforms other than UNIX and VMS, such as Stratus VOS, Data General AOS/VS, OS-9, etc. See the ckaaaa.txt file for details.

NOTE: The UNIX, VMS, and AOS/VS source files are all at 7.0 level. The others (except, to some extent, OS-9) have not yet been upgraded to 7.0. Those that have NOT been upgraded yet include: Stratus VOS, Commodore Amiga, Plan 9, Macintosh, BeBox, Atari ST. Volunteers welcome.

[Top]

INDIVIDUAL BINARIES

Individual binaries are also available from the kermit/test/bin/ directory for those who can not build from source code. Be sure to download in binary (not ASCII or text) mode. Those marked with "+" are current; those without the "+" are from earlier C-Kermit 7.0 or or 6.1 Alpha or Beta tests.

IMPORTANT: These files are not Windows files and do not follow Windows naming conventions. You might need to right-click and choose "Save Link As..." in your web browser to force download rather than some other undesired action.

Naming Conventions: Filenames start with "ck" for C-Kermit, then one letter or digit to indicate the platform ("u" for UNIX, "d" for Data General AOS/VS, "v" for VMS, "i" for Amiga, "9" OS-9, "p" for Plan 9, etc). After that comes a three-digit edit number:

193: Version 6.1.193, November 1996 through June 1998.
194: Version 6.1.194, June 1998 through December 1998.
195: Version 7.0.195, January 1999 through present.
Then the test version designator: "a" for Alpha or "b" for Beta, followed by the 2-digit test number. Example:
cku195b07
Denotes C-Kermit for UNIX 7.0.195 Beta.07.

The rest of the name is platform-dependent; in UNIX it's the name of the makefile target, optionally followed by specific hardware platform and/or OS version, when it makes a difference. In VMS it's the platform ("axp" or "vax"), then the VMS version number (e.g. "vms71"), and then TCP/IP product and version number (or "nonet" if TCP/IP support is not built in). And so on.

REMEMBER: It's often better to build your own binary than to run a prebuilt one, due to the ever-increasing likelihood of OS and/or library version mismatch.

After downloading, rename to "wermit" or "wermit.exe" (etc), as appropriate for your operating system (as opposed to "kermit", to prevent confusion between the production and test versions) and, if necessary, give execute permission, e.g. (in UNIX): 

$ mv cku195b07.linux-i386-rh5.2 wermit
$ chmod +x wermit

Also remember that before C-Kermit can be used to dial out from UNIX, it will probably also be necessary to give the Kermit executable a certain owner and group, and to set it suid and/or sgid bits, to allow it access to the dialout device and/or lockfile directory (the same as any other dialout software, such as cu or minicom).

Note that any executable C-Kermit 7.0 binary should also be accompanied by an assortment of text files -- documentation updates, installation instructions, hints and tips, etc; see the previous section.

Notes:

  1. "curses" refers to the fullscreen file-transfer display, used when transferring files over dialout or network connections. It's nice but it adds size and sometimes causes problems so if a "curses" version gives you trouble, try a no-curses version.

  2. Likewise, some binaries come in TCP/IP and non-TCP/IP versions. If you don't need to make TCP/IP connections with C-Kermit, choose the non-TCP/IP version (if available). A TCP/IP-enabled binary might not run on platforms that don't have TCP/IP installed.

  3. And some binaries come in optimized and non-optimized versions; this refers to compile-time optimization. Choose the optimized version, but if it gives you trouble, try the corresponding non-optimized one, if available (some optimizers have bugs).

  4. Some binaries are available in gcc and non-gcc versions; that is, versions built using two different compilers. If one gives you trouble, try the other if available. Some compilers have bugs; some compilers support features that other ones don't.

  5. Some HP-UX binaries (notably, the HP-UX 7.00 ones) are built for long filename (255 chars) file systems, others for short-filename (14 chars) systems. Choose the one that is appropriate for your file system.

  6. Some Linux binaries are linked with libc, some with glibc. Pick the one that is appropriate for your Linux system. Better yet, just build from source ("make linux").

If you are able to make a binary not listed below (or that is listed below, but without the "+"), please contact us.
