We are looking for a solution to automate transferring log files from a QNX
4 machine in the field to our corporate head quarters where we have another
QNX 4 node. We would like to use cron and some sort of script to dial out
and send the files automagically. What have other users done in this
regard. I have heard that Kermit has all of these capabilities and more.
We are looking for a simple solution. Thanks in advance for any information
that you can provide.
I know it is viewed as ancient technology but I have had great success with
uucp.
I recommend you get the Taylor (GNU) uucp package. You will have to compile
this yourself or I suppose I could send you the binaries if you are stuck.
The config is a bit intimidating to start with but it is actually very easy
to do what you require.

I would myself vote for Kermit. The latest Kermit (C-Kermit) version (8)
has very good file transfer capabilities and it is available also for QNX.
E.g. it can do the file transfers in a transaction, i.e. you can set the
Kermit to take some action (delete, move files to another directory, rename
etc), if the transfer was successfull etc.
The same would also work between different environments, although Windows
Kermit is a commercial product.
Also, I think, the use is quite simple.
Unfortunately, I haven’t used it that way, so I don’t have any ready-made
script available.
