As has been discussed here ad nauseum , it may be possible if all the right pieces are in place ( your telnet daemon and shell allow it, etc ), but you really should be using ftp. If your machine is running a telnet daemon it is very likely also running an ftp daemon, in which case use ftp and you are set to go. Stan

You will be able to bootstrap SOMETHING. Even if its cut and pasting source code onto the machine and COMPILING it. If you have telnet access, you can do it, one way or another.

With ftp. I suppose it is possible, but it is very unlikely that the box does not have the "ftp" command installed. The basic "ftp" command is pretty much core Unix; it is hard to imagine a Unix installation that is missing it. To summarize, what you need is (running on the target box): 1) telnet server (this seems to be known true) 2) ftp client (this remains to be seen) -- (This discussion group is about C, ...) Wrong. It is only OCCASIONALLY a discussion group about C; mostly, like most "discussion" groups, it is off-topic Rorsharch [sic] revelations of the childhood traumas of the participants...
