There are other protocols for file transfer. Telnet is about remote login.
Have a look at rcp,kermit,scp,ssh, ftp, and so forth. I found ftp to be the
easiest, and, like the others, it doesn't need the telnet connection, although
there's no reason NOT to ftp while that connection is up. You could just
do an ftp request FROM the remote computer to your present one....
