In order to use kermit, it has to be installed on both ends. If kermit
is installed on the unix server, you would type "kermit -s filename"
to send the file and use kermit in your terminal/telnet program to
receive it.

Likewise, you have to use the same protocol at both ends. If you
use "sz -b filename" to send the file, you would use zmodem in
your terminal/telnet program to receive it.

Personally, I use ftp to transfer files to/from my shell accounts
over the Internet.
