Use SSH (Secure SHell) instead and you'll have access to SCP (Secure CoPy). Much more secure than telnet and easy to setup. If you require windoze client, PuTTy and WinSCP are both good and free.

You probably already have it installed. Try: $ ssh 127.0.0.1
If you don't get a logon prompt, you may have to start the service. # /etc/init.d/sshd start The above may change depending on your flavour of linux, could be: # service sshd start
If it is working, you can then disable telnet, making your system much more secure.
i am adminstoring through a win98se box and i dont enjoy working in my basement, which is where it is located locally. are there any other options besides ssh that can be used via win98?
thanks sean

Yeah, get putty for windoze to connect.
An alternative would be VNC, it serves a graphical desktop on linux to which you can connect to with a windoze vnc client....again all for free!=o)
