You will have to use samba or tar the sub-dirs up, and FTP them to your windows box. There is no way that I know of to copy files via telnet itself.

You can use ftp command from the UNIX box to connect to a windows box.. but then you need to have a ftp server on you windows box... for UNIX the ftp server comes with the os but not so with windows... that is why we mostly ftp FROM windows TO UNIX and not vice versa, though you can do it too...

I set up ftp server on Windows using "Host Explorer" application and in the inetd dialog for windows made ftpd enabled...

Every os has a ftpd (the ftp daemon) which tiks on for any ftp requests coming from other boxes in the network...

If you cannot setup any servers (like for instance if you don't have administrator privledges), you can use uuencode, then just cat | more the file, copy it from your terminal to a regular text file, then page it some more, etc. This is rather a pain in the ass, but its what I did while I was in college (using a shell account with no ftp/etc servers *OR* ability to connect to servers). Ahhhh.....the days when life sucked Smilie
