Use FTP.

Umm, FTP is not secure. Username and password are transmitted in clear text.
Use scp from the OpenSSH suite.
For the same reason, you should not use telnet. Use ssh instead.

Make sure Columbia University's C-Kermit product is on both ends. Open
c-kermit (kermit), telnet from within c-kermit to your destination,
cd to the directory where you want to "get" or "send" files, start
c-kermit on the remote end and use the commands "get somefile" or
"send somefile" to transfer. To learn more about kermit see:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/
or look at &| post in newsgroup:
comp.protocols.kermit.misc
I've x-posted this reply to that NG with followup to alt.os.linux.
Others will say to not use telnet. IIRC, there is also a secure
version of C-Kermit available from the site that can use encryption,
etc. Frank? Are you reading this?
You may already have c-kermit on your Linux box. Try typing "kermit"
at a CLI (don't type the quotation marks).

The current version of C-Kermit is 8.0:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ckermit.html
It can be built (from source code) to include any combination of
Kerberos 4, Kerberos 5, SSL/TLS, or SRP security. It can also make SSH
connections through the external SSH client.
Contrary to popular belief, secure Telnet does exist and servers are
available:

If they're using telnet... they don't care about security.
If they were using SSH, then yeah, SCP would be better than FTP. :-)
But I definitely got the impression they didn't much care about
security.

Maybe they don't know about SSH? Hey it could happen.

Yup it is SSH and I just discovered SCP. Now to see if I can figure
out how to use it...

They might not but I sure do, after all their machine might be the next one
compromised to launch the worm/DOS/whatever of the day at me. So let's teach
them to use ssh from the beginning.

I've never learned SCP or how to "tunnel" FTP (or anything else for that
matter) through SSH, so here's how I do it:
I use Tera Term Pro (requires additional Tera Term SSH download; both are
free), which has worked well enough for me for connecting from my Windows
boxen to my Linux server. (SecureTTY I like better, but it costs money,
which I don't have.)
If I'm sending a file to my Linux box, I type "rz" and hit enter. That
sets it up for receiving a file by zmodem. I then go to my Tera Term File
menu, Transfer, ZModem, Send, and select the file(s).
The other way, I type "sz (filename)", and go File, Transfer, ZModem,
Receive.
My biggest complaint is that Tera Term doesn't let you specify the
download directory; it receives files in its last-open directory (which
starts out as C:\Program Files\Tera Term Pro). But hey, it's free....

google for putty, pscp and secure iexplorer - these 3 things are all
_really_ Free (as in GPL), and will make the living hell you've just
described melt away
