However, to downoad a file by telnet, capture stdout so: telnet hostname | tee logfile .... uuencode remotefile remotefile exit tr -d "r" < logfile | uudecode Note remotefile is named twice in the uuencode: first is the name it is to be uudecoded to, next is the input to uuencode (uou could use redirection or a pipe instead, by default uuencode operates on stdin. To upload, I guess you could use telnet's ! command, but how exactly excapes me.
