I've stumbled accross a suggestion that Kermit can be good for file transfers.

https://dataswamp.org/~solene/2019-01-31-kermit.html

This works well, if you SSH within kermit, and I've tried it
sucessfully.  But there is a way, supposedly, to run kermit as a
'server'.

I've followed the instructions here
https://www.complete.org/how-to-run-an-internet-kermit-server/

To start a server, which works.  Sort of, I can login as anonymous, but get
?Access to system disabled
when I try any commands.

The same happens when trying "the last kermit server"
https://www.complete.org/try-the-last-internet-kermit-server/

I'm doing this purely out of interest, its not imperitave that it get it
up and running.  I'm just looking for some good introductory
documentation where I can begin to troubleshot this, and perhaps figure
out how to get PAM authentication and/or TLS working.
