To copy files using tomsrtbt, you would not use telnet, but rather:

 "snarf" will fetch files using either "ftp", "http", "finger", or "gopher"

 "NFS" allows you to mount remote (NFS server) drives, then just use "cp"

 "rsh" and/or "rshd" and/or "nc" (netcat) combined with "cpio" will work:

  rsh <PentiumHost> find <path> "|" cpio -oB | cpio -iuvmdB # or similar

I usually use some combination of rsh & cpio...
