They seem awfully similar from a user's standpoint.
Anybody know If FTP is based on Kermit or Vice-Versa?
Dunno, but I was using FTP in 1975-76. I'd guess that
any behavioral resemblence is more a consequence of the
two both having similar functions, i.e., moving files
around, rather than any sort of common parentage...
