XSEND (stored in the Kermit distribution as MSIXSE) XSEND is a program to generate TAKE (script) files for MS-DOS Kermit to allow it to send files and directories to a server over entire tree branches or disks. This version generates commands with absolute path names, and therefore works only between MS-DOS systems. To send a directory tree from one MS-DOS system to another, change directory to the desired directory below which you wish all files and subdirectories copied. Then run XSEND redirecting the output with the DOS redirection symbol ">" (e.g. "XSEND > takeme"). Before proceeding, look at the command file and make sure it's doing what you want. Then establish a connection to the remote system with Kermit, and put the remote Kermit in server mode. Then just TAKE the take file on the local system. Perhaps a useful extension might include passing arguments for remote and local prefix strings to allow relative paths (e.g. ".") or drive letters etc. Relative pathnames would allow this procedure to work between MS-DOS and other kinds of systems that have similar directory structure, e.g. UNIX. Suggestions for simple and easy to use command syntax are welcome. Author: Mark S. Zinzow Date: March 30, 1988
