If you set up kermit right (and you have a current enough version of kermit
on both ends), you can do a recursive transfer (i.e. transfer all
sub-directories
automatically). Check out the following commands for more info.

    set rec path relative
    set send path relative
    set file coll update
    get /relative *
    send /relative *

To get the latest versions, go to the source

    http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/

you should be able to find a version for just about anything there.
