can i upload the file using telnet from my computer to the internet ...
let me repeat ... using putty telnet
and whats the command ??

Not sure I understand the question. If you want to transfer a file from your machine to another machine that you have an account on then ftp is the way to go.

ftp remote_machinename
cd remote directory
bin #if the file is a binary
put file

no ... i telnet to a SERVER and then i wanna take something from MY MACHINE ( window ) to another user in the same server
how can i do that ?? is that possible ??

u can always use those WS FTP programs they make transfering files a lot easier

Hi,

A telnet is a type of connection from server a to server b.
FTP is another one, rcp is also another one. Telnet gives you a shell so that allowes you to type commands.

Ftp is a kind of a "shell"that allows you to put or get data. rcp is a mechanism that allows you to copy over data. All work on different ports :

Telnet = port 21
ftp = port 23
cp (remsh/shell) = port 514

Just to let you understand what you are doing ones logging into a system using telnet. It's completely different from Windows.

if ftp is unavailable, and telnet is the only service available, *AND* if there are not www/ftp clients on the server, you could always try uuencode and uudecode. its not fun, but if the remote terminal supports "pasting" (if they dont, forget it), you could uuencode part of the file, paste it on the other terminal, uuencode another part, paste it, etc. wouldnt be fun, but then again, few things are.

my ftp dun work thats why i wanna use telnet if possible ( think alot and i think it can't )
so .. what im going to do is download from my user and copy and paste to another user... ekek
but ... thats using wget ehh ??
