Attention South Users—Alternatives to the Kermit File Transfer on Titan

The Kermit file transfer facility is not available on Titan because the communications protocol, TCAM, is no longer supported by the vendor.

Two alternatives make use of the TCP/IP communications protocol:

•       IND$FILE—used by QWS3270
•       File Transfer Protocol (FTP)—available in WS_FTP_Pro for Windows users

CIT provides both of these options to registered users at no charge.

How to Get the Software

To download either of these programs go to Titan SILK Web and click on "NIH TCP Tools." You will need to supply your Titan or South userid and your corresponding RACF password to access the software.

For assistance in migrating from the use of Kermit, please contact TASC at (301) 594-6248 or submit a Service Request.
