Das Kermit Projekt der Columbia Universität wurde beendet zum
1. Juli 2011
Lesen Sie die Ankündigung hier.
Die Kermit Software und Dokumentation bleiben weiterhin verfügbar auf
der Kermit WEB-Seite und im FTP Archiv, aber mit folgenden
hier
beschriebenen Änderungen.
C-Kermit und
E-Kermit wurden mit einer
Open Source
Lizenz veröfentlicht und ebenfalls der
Quellecode von
Kermit 95
(außer für jene Teile für welche Columbia keine
Veröffentlichungsrechte besitzt).
Kermit 95 Programme und Installationspackete
werden nicht in einer freien und offenen Form verteilt
denn sie beinhalten eine starke Verschlüsselung, deren Export von der
US Regierung kontrolliert wird.
Kermit Kunden, welche die Open Source Lizenzen nicht nutzen können
und dennoch weiterhin Kopien der Software kaufen wollen wie bisher,
wenden sich bitte an
techventures@columbia.edu
und erwähnen Kermit in der Betreff-Zeile.
Technische Unterstützung wird nach dem 1. Juni 2011 nicht mehr von
der Columbia Universität angeboten.
Die Kermit WEB-Seiten wurden bezüglich des aktuellen
Unterstützungs- und Lizenz-Status der Kermit Software aktualsiert.
Beachten Sie bitte die Ûbergangsplanung (Taste unten rechts)
für die neuesten und genauesten Informationen.
The Kermit Project
As of 29 April 2011 the Kermit Project is 30 years old, initiated at
Columbia in 1981 as a way to set up microcomputers as terminals to our
central mainframes and allow files to be transferred reliably back and forth
so students could archive their files on floppy diskettes (read history here). Since then, as one of the
world's first distributed volunteer-based software development projects,
Kermit has evolved into an all-purpose cross-platform tool for
transport-independent text-mode communication, file transfer and management,
and automation. [Read more...]
Downloading
In this site, most of the links to software source code, archives, or
binaries are FTP links (click here for more
information). FTP is the File Transfer Protocol of the ARPANET and of
the Internet that it spawned. There are many thousands of these links
throughout the site. If you find that these links do not work for you, it
is most likely because FTP protocol is blocked by a firewall somewhere
between here and where you are. In that case you can:
- Use FTP passive mode
instead of active mode if your FTP client supports this; or:
- Ask your network administrator to unblock FTP for this site; or:
- See if you can find your link on THIS PAGE.
If all else fails, you can transform any Kermit Project FTP link into an
HTTP one to bypass the firewall.
For example, this link:
ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/archives/cku301.tar.gz
becomes (by changing “ftp:” to “http:” and
“/kermit/” to “/ftp/”):
http://kermit.columbia.edu/ftp/archives/cku301.tar.gz
Kermit software versions
All Kermit software programs are built around the Kermit File-Transfer
Protocol designed at Columbia in 1981 and refined and extended over the
years, which allows two software programs on each end of a communication
connection to transfer both text and binary files correctly and completely
[Read more...]
In addition, many Kermit programs also make connections over various
communication media and act as a terminal. And in many cases they
also include a built-in programming language to allow any
communication procedure, any dialog, and any file-transfer or -management
task to be fully automated.
The most popular Kermit programs are listed in the table below.
Unless otherwise noted, all of these can make TCP/IP network connections
(clear-text or secured by Kerberos IV, Kerberos V, or SSL/TLS), direct
serial-port connections, and dialed modem connections, and can accept
incoming connections of all these types. They can conduct interactive
terminal sessions. They can transfer files with Kermit or FTP protocol.
Those that can make Internet connections support the Telnet, Rlogin, FTP,
and HTTP protocols unless otherwise noted. Their operation can be automated
using the script programming language. And they can convert among a wide
variety of text character sets in both terminal sessions and file transfer.

| Program/Link
| Platform
| Description
|
Kermit 95
2.1.3
| MS Windows, IBM OS/2
| Since 1995. Supports all 32-bit versions of Microsoft Windows as well
as OS/2 Warp. Runs on 64-bit Windows versions in 32-bit mode. Emulates
over 40 different terminals including VT100, VT220, VT320, ANSI, HP, IBM,
Linux Console, Sun Console, QNX, AT386, SCO ANSI, SNI 97801, Televideo,
Wyse, and many others. Also supports XYZMODEM file transfer and SSH
security in addition to Kerberos and SSL/TLS. As of 30 March 2011
the K95 manual is available online and as of
20 July 2011, the source code is too.
|
C-Kermit
9.0.301
| Unix, VMS, VOS, OS-9, AOS/VS, others
| Since 1985. Supports hundreds of 32-bit and 64-bit Unix varieties
(Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, FreeBSD, NetBSD, SCO, many others) as well as VMS on VAX, Alpha, and IA64.
Older versions available for 16-bit Unix versions as well as for other
operating systems including Stratus VOS, OS-9, AOS/VS, Atari ST, Commodore
Amiga, and Apple Macintosh. The Unix version can make ssh connections using
the external Unix SSH client, and has optional built-in support for SSL/TLS and
Kerberos security. C-Kermit is also the basis for Kermit 95.
|
MS-DOS Kermit
3.14, 3.15, 3.16
| MS-DOS, PC-DOS, Windows 3.x
| Since 1982. For DOS 2.0 or later and 16-bit Microsoft Windows versions
through 3.11. Includes built-in TCP/IP stack. Emulates 15 terminals,
including DEC VT100, 220, 320; Data General DASHER, Wyse50, ANSI text
terminals as well as Tektronix and DG color graphics. Does not include
encryption, TCP/IP supports Telnet only. Fits on a single diskette.
Not for 32-bit or 64-bit Windows.
|
G-Kermit
1.00
| Unix
| Since 1999. Simple and fast Kermit protocol implementation written to
satisfy the demand for a GPL Kermit file-transfer program for Unix. File
transfer only, remote end only; no making connections, no terminal
emulation, no scripting, no character-set conversion.
|
E-Kermit
1.7
| (Any)
| Since 2004. Super-compact and efficient Kermit protocol code for
embedding. File transfer only, no security, no making connections, no
terminal emulation, no scripting, no character-set conversion. This is not
a complete communication application, just a "subroutine" that executes the
Kermit file transfer protocol suitable for embedding in other programs or
in chips or devices. Source code now available.
|
IBM Mainframe Kermit
4.3.2
| VM/CMS, MVS/TSO, OS/390, CICS, MUSIC
| Since 1982. Kermit file transfer for IBM mainframe operating systems.
Far end only, no making connections, no terminal emulation. Extensive
character-set conversion capabilities supporting many Country Encoded
EBCDIC code pages.
|
There are hundreds of other Kermit programs, most of them for
operating systems long forgotten — MULTICS, NOS, GCOS, MUMPS, RT-11,
RSX-11, TOPS-10, TOPS-20, OS/8, MPE, CP/M-80, CP/M-86, iRMX-86, ISIS, PICK,
UCSD p-System, Flex, IDRIS, Xelos, TISP, PRIMOS, Sperry VS9, Nonstop,
TRSDOS, ... And some that are making a comeback on emulators that are much
faster than the original machines. Some of these are listed here, and the rest can be found on the Kermit FTP site:
If time permits the FTP archive will be reorganized and catalogued for
convenient Web access. The current file organization dates from
pre-Internet magnetic tape days (each directory held what would fit on one
9-track 1600bpi tape). In fact, the conversion is underway; the current
access page (far from finished) is here.
