I am slightly familiar with Telnet and always thought that it was just meant to
be for remoting into a computer or work with text-based programs (like connecting to a BBS :D). I always assumed that it was not possible to download
files via Telnet. However, I heard that it was possible to download files from
a BBS via Telnet. Is this true? If so, how? What do I need to do to get file downloads working? Keep in mind, I do use ConnectBot on my Android devices, SyncTERM on my PC, and mTCP's Telnet for DOS (for rare momwnts that I use FreeDOS in a VM).
Is Telnet even the proper protocol? I know I can download files from BBSes via
FTP or HTTP (if available). What about SSH or RLogin?
