[GordonH]

Hello
I need to upload a file via telnet (I am installing FLY).

However, I am doing it from a windows machine to a Linux server.

This may be a stupid question, but how can I do this.
The mv and rm commands can't refer to a file on my local machine if its DOS based, or can it?

I have searched through all the UNIX manuals but can't find an answer.

Telnet AFAIK is just a remote access system and doesn't provide any file tranfer fuctions... Technically if you were dealing with only text files you could do a copy and paste kludge but that's pretty crazy for more than afew files... If you need to upload files you gotta use FTP (since that's sorta what ftp is designed for)...

One way around that is to use SCP (secure copy protocol).

You need to be running SSH on your server (and if you are not, you really should for security reasons). SCP runs on top of SSH, simply download SSH program, like PuTTY (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/) and the accompanying SCP package.
