ftp transfer question?

[burraganesh]

Hello friends,i am basically on a Fedora 8,but i have some of my files on telnet machine,to which i can log on.There i don't have root privileges though.
How can i transfer files from that machine to my machine,using ftp or some other mechanism?

This all assumes there is nothing blocking ftp

1. Install the FTP Server on your machine, configure and start it.
2. Then telnet to the other machine and ftp to your box.
3. Transfer files.

Should you need help setting up ftp on your system use google there is more then enough documentation out there.

if you have SSH access you could use SCP to transfer the files, if you want to get them using a windows machine, try using winscp.
