how to get progress of minicom's kermit file transfer

Question

Is there any way to get the progress of file transfer over kermit protocol serially on minicom, as Tera Term gives in windows.

Answer 1

Apparently gkermit v1.0-5 and above (used with minicom),
already has a "twirling baton" to show activity/progress during a file transfer.

In case you are stuck with an older version of gkermit for some reason,
you can apply this patch and rebuild gkermit.

Be default in minicom, hit ctrl+a o to open minicom settings window.
Select File Transfer Protocols and configure the kermit tool to use.

Checkout the minicom kermit settings in this mail-thread.

Next to transfer a file in minicom, hit ctrl+a s and select kermit and follow the onscreen instructions to select and transfer a file.
