Tools Some hints

First of all - telnet is not secure in any way. Try to use something different if possible.

You might want to check 'expect' - this could be useful for your purpose.

Try to avoid keeping passwords in the script files. I would advise SCP/SFTP with keys authentication. If this is not possible then FTP.
