put uploads
get downloads

eg:
put filename1
will upload filename1 to the server in the current directory.

lcd changes current local directory (on your computer)
cd changes directory on server

This should be all you need to know for basic file transfer. Let me know if you are still having troubles after this.

thank you.. I dont suppose you know anything about setting up Java on a cobalt RAQ4?

cobalt RAQ4? I don't know this type of computer. Do you know what type of process it has in it? If so, this URL (http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp) should help you. Else this one (http://www.java.com/en/index.jsp) should auto detect the appropriate one. If not, this one (http://wwws.sun.com/software/download/technologies.html#java) might help.

What flavour of *nix are you usin? What version?

thank you I will look at those.. a cobalt raq4 is a server... having problems installing tomcat onto it and getting it to work

This probably isn't a help, but are you aware of this page? (http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/show.pl?target=cobalt/raq4.eng&nav=patchpage) . It look loike it's only patches, so I guess it's not going to be much help.

I've had a bit of a look around and it looks like it probably is an X86 architechture. If this is the case, this will make download selection much easier.

If you are installing a RPM (which should be easy to get hold of if it is X86) use at the console:
rpm -i filename

If it's something like .tar.gz you'll need to decompress it and follow the instructions.

Sorry if you already know this stuff, I don't know how much you know and how much you want to know. If you want to know more just ask.

Sorry I miss read your original post. I thought you asked about ftp, not telnet. However, using ftp in combination with telnet is often a good combination for transfering files. Else you might want to look into samba (connect from windows or linux) or NFS (connect from linux).
