While I agree with JavaFan, if you really must use telnet, then I'd suggest converting the file into a text format (if it isn't already). Then you can tell the remote box to dump the contents of the file to the terminal, and use your telnet object to capture the data. Then you can convert the file back into its original form. Horrendous, but it would work if you put some time and effort into it.

But it would be much simpler to use ftp, scp, or some such to do the job.
