@mpirnat @jasongorman #ssh? Luxury! We counted ourselves lucky if we got #telnet. Most days it was #CKermit over a #serialport. #halfduplex 1200/75 baud, so traffic was uphill both ways!

pretty rare these days how #ckermit is laid out: https://github.com/KermitProject/ckermit. Just a #makefile and simple set of #c-files.

That's true! And it wouldn't surprise me, if it would work with carrier pigeons! And *scriptable*!!!

ok maybe a 900 K file isn't the best test file to transfer at 9600 bps...

#ckermit on #raspian whines that the ssl lib is too new but managed to upload a zip to the riscos kermit intact.
testing from #riscos back to raspian

What's with kermit anyway? It's a very featureful protocol: 7-bit transfers of 8-bit data, streaming, (my favorite) can figure out destination filenames from origin filenames, scriptable clients, etc, etc.

And nobody uses it. ????

Oh, dear.

I'm looking to set up a #gopherspace (remember the #gopher protocol?) with #SDF. It seems I can't use (s)FTP to transfer files unless I've been validated (I have yet to figure out what that entails). So, instead, they offer support for #telnet with #xyzmodem. Alternatively one can use #CKermit, which supports xyzmodem.

Yikes. I don't like command-line interfaces. Not one byte.
