Commands for transferring files VIA Telnet

and receive files from a SCO OpenServer 5xx connected on the same
network to and from my XP PC?
It's been a year since I needed to do this and well I just forgot how.

I'd use FTP myself - WS_FTP LE has always worked well for me:

You *can* transfer files through 3rd party emulation packages, but
AFAIK there's no 'generic' transfer via Telnet.

But I would have to set up the ftp server in SCO and move the files to
the correct directory and all that. The way I did it before was
something like Z-modem or some such thing. Will keep looking for that.
Thanks for the reply though.
Scott McMillan
SCO's FTP server is active out-of-the-box, unless one of the stricter
security level selections disables it. Try Start -> Run -> ftp <SCO
box's IP address> and see if it hits.
Z-modem is another possibility, as is Kermit, Y-modem, etc., but your
emulation package needs to support it, or you need an additional piece
of software installed on your Windoze boxen, *and* the server needs it
installed. We use a product called Termulator (www.givenhansco.com)
that has this capability, but then you have to mess with *both* sides.
IMHO, FTP is the fastest/easiest way to go, and the WS_FTP client has
a very simple-to-use interface. Others here will have additional
suggestions.

No you wouldn't. You can leave the files where they are. It is
anonymous ftp that requires the files to be in specific places.
If you ftp with a normal account and password you can ftp any file
you have read access for. Just start the ftpd daemon on 5.x and
go for it.
And if you set 'prompt off' you can then type 'mget *'
and everthing in that directory will move to your directory.

I may be cursed for mentioning it, but you can even use internet explorer.
Just open up internet explorer and in the address bar type in:
ftp://user:pas...@192.168.0.100/../../
to start in /
or
ftp://joey:pas...@192.168.0.100/
to start in /usr/joey
or to start in some particular directory outside your home dir, add the
../../ followed by the path, like, for /tmp use:
ftp://user:pas...@192.168.0.100/../../tmp
or you could install FileZilla. nice gui ftp client, easier to use for
repetative tasks than plain ftp or internet explorer because you can
configure it to always start in a particular directory on both your pc and
the server, and it can save your username & password, and it's free.
Like others have already said, you don't have to set anything up on the
server. the ftp server is almost certainly running whether you ever knew
it or used it or not. But like they also said, it's configured by default
to only allow normal authenticated logins requiring a valid username and
password, exactly like telnet. no anonymous. But, since you are logging in
as a real user, it means you have access to the whole filesystem, not some
special ftp server tree like the web server has.

Thet answers the part about getting the files.
How do you put files from IE?
Nachman Yaakov Ziskind
The usual windows way - copy and paste.

This was about ftp and Brian's suggested ftp from the brower -
which is OK for getting files. But if the SCO is running only
and ftpd daemon his method won't work - or if it does I don't know
how to do it.
It also would make sense to use the same program going both ways -
not IE for receive and ftp for xmit.

Eh? I use IE for FTP transfers - both ways - all the time. Just
last night, in fact, to a SCO box running wu-ftp. I can't say I
*like* IE, but it sure is convenient.
I just highlight the files on the local machine, then go to IE,
put up the FTP site, then click paste.

It does, but not as well/fast as standalone FTP clients IMHO. Simple
Copy/Paste from Windoze Exploder to IE. In a pinch it's good to know
that it works. I still feel WS_FTP LE is about the best client going,
although I have not revisited any others recently.

Ah. You can tell how little I use IE - I stay in text mode on *n*x
systems about 99% of the time. I did fire up IE to go to site in
OZ and also to Amazon yesterday - but that's about it so far this
week.

I almost univerally used the CLI ftp in MS systems. Force of habit
I guess. It's always there. [I don't know about the the XP arena
however].
I've just been using CLI for so many years now it's become an
ingrained habit - I got my first computer in December of 1977.
Gawd were those early keyboards attrocious.

*blink* ok, now your showing your age (or am I about to show mine?).
That's the year I was *BORN*.
But having an affinity for a CLI I can understand.
CLI FTP exists in all versions of windows which have a TCP stack (including
Win 3.1/3.11/wfw with the MS TCP installed).
I spend more time in a CLI or just using the keyboard than I've ever spent
using a mouse.
Most of the people I've worked with over the years just haven't understood
why. It's just so much easier/quicker to get around.
I used to muck around with 486 systems, having one VGA and one CGA video
controller in it, forcing a CLI to the CGA monitor so I wouldn't have to
continually jump back and forth. It's amazing how much time it saved.
Now I just run a dual-head PC with multi-sessions (4), one of which is a
2560x1024 X session using XTerm's. Now that's alot of CLI ;)

Yes I see that this does work. I will see where I need to export the
