Kermit is a computer file transfer / management protocol and a set of communications software tools primarily used in the early years of personal computing in the 1980s ; it provides a consistent approach to file transfer, terminal emulation, script programming, and character set conversion across many different computer hardware and OS platforms.

The Kermit protocol supports text and binary file transfers on both full-duplex and half-duplex 8 bit and 7-bit serial connections in a system-and medium-independent fashion, and is implemented on hundreds of different computer and operating system platforms.

When properly implemented, as in the Columbia University Kermit Software collection, Columbia University's Kermit group claim performance is equal to or better than other protocols such as ZMODEM, YMODEM, and XMODEM, especially on poor connections.

Kermit is an open protocol — anybody can base their own program on it, but some Kermit software and source code is copyright by Columbia University.

IBM mainframes used an EBCDIC character set and CP / M and DEC machines used ASCII, so conversion between the two character sets was one of the early functions built into Kermit.

Kermit can be used as a means to load boot software.

For example CP / M machines used many different floppy disk formats, which meant that one machine could not normally read disks from another CP / M machine, and Kermit was used as part of a process to enable the transfer of applications and data between CP / M machines and other machines with different operating systems.

PIP with a very low baud rate ( because it had no built-in error correction ) could be used to transfer a small simple version of Kermit from one machine to another over a null modem cable, or failing that, a very very simple version of the Kermit protocol could be hand coded in binary in less than 2K using DDT, the CP / M Dynamic Debugging Tool.

Once that was done the simple version of Kermit could be used to download a fully functional version.

The Kermit protocol evolved through the 1980s into a de facto data communications standard for transferring files between dissimilar computer systems.
