A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : INTERNET KERMIT SERVICE Author(s) : F. da Cruz, J. Altman Filename : draft-columbia-kermit-service-01.txt Pages : 13 Date : 18-Jan-99 This document describes a new file transfer service for the Internet based on Telnet Protocol for option negotiation and Kermit Protocol for file transfer and management. The Internet Kermit Service provides access to both authenticated and anonymous users. The use of Kermit protocol over a Telnet connection provides several advantages over FTP, including easy traversal of firewalls, transfers over multiple transports, and security via a combination of supported Telnet authentication and encryption option negotiations, plus significant functional benefits. While this document describes a new service for the Internet, the clients for this service already exist on most platforms in the form of Telnet clients that support the Kermit file transfer protocol. These clients are available not only from Columbia University's Kermit Project but also numerous third parties. A URL for this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-columbia-kermit-service-01.txt Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username "anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in, type "cd internet-drafts" and then "get draft-columbia-kermit-service-01.txt". A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail. Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-columbia-kermit-service-01.txt". NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
