11 I Can Transfer Text Files but Not Binary Files

Here are the causes (and cures) listed in decreasing order of likelihood:

1. You are going through a terminal server or other type of connection (telnet, rlogin, etc) that chops off the 8th bit. Kermit can't tell that this is happening (as it can with devices that add even, odd, or mark parity), so you have to tell it. The command is:

     SET PARITY SPACE
      

2. You have used the SET CONTROL CONTROL UNPREFIX command to unprefix one or more control characters that are not safe. Tell Kermit to:

     SET CONTROL PREFIX ALL
      

   and see if it works. If so, you'll have to home in on the offender(s).
