i have windows on my computer at home. i am trying to send a doc to another computer which is with unix. i connect this machine via telnet so i have the bash command on my dos window. but how can i transfert my file to my account (which is on the unix machine). i have try to send an email with an attached file, but is it possible to save this file via telnet into my account? (with mail command)

well, obviously i take it that FTP is closed on the unix box and you can't ftp in. How about installing an FTP server on your PC at home and ftp from the unix box to your PC?

If your telner client has zmodem features, you can use sz and rz commands Otherwise, mount a shared drive on either side.

File transfer between Windows and UNIX and UNIX-like machines can be acheived in many ways. Telnet itself is generally not used directly as a transfer medium. Here are a couple of common methods: If the UNIX box is running the FTP service (or FTP demon in UNIX-speak) then the windows machine can login to the UNIX machine via FTP, with a normal FTP client (if you don't have graphical one, windows has built-in ftp command from the DOS prompt). If the UNIX box has Samba, then the UNIX box can do "windows" file sharing and you could map a drive from the windows box right onto the UNIX box and do a regular file copy.
