I bought this satellite receiver which has Linux operating system. The problem is that I have to do an upload and I need to use both FTP and Telnet to send the file from my PC to this machine. It gives me a precise folder where I should put this file which is stored in my PC. How do I go from here? I would be interested if using DOS is more efficient than Windows Explorer when FTP. Thank you!

Windows Explorer is quie capable when it comes to to FTP. Just type ftp://name_of)server or IP address into the address bar and there you are. Use copy and paste to transfer the files. You can use Telnet from a command prompt within Windows. Stuart

Telnet works! at the command prompt type: telnet <IP address> Login: <name> Password: <password> Keep in mind that you'll need to know some basic linux commands to get your files. FTP might be better. Same with this, you'll need to know basic FTP commands to get your files. cd = change directory lcd = local change directory (your pc) put = put file from your pc to FTP server get = get file from FTP server mput = put multiple files on FTP server mget = get multiple files from FTP server delete = delete file from FTP server mdelete = delete multiple files from FTP server ls = directory listing
