What is the telnet command to copy a file from the Unix machine to my harddrive? I am in the directory and see the file, but don't know how to get it locally. The FTP function is not functioning at the moment.

Thanks
 
You can't transfer files over telnet. Look into ssh/scp instead.

Or set up Samba on your Unix machine, and connect via Windows shares.
 
nelson97,
Serbtastic is right. Telnet is meant for remote access, not for file transfer (for which ftp is). Anyway, you most probably have access to ftp client on your unix machine. You may setup ftp server at home and upload files to it. Also, as Serbtastic said - if that unix server has an option to access it by ssh instead of telnet (it probably does) you may use scp which is file transfer over ssh protocol AFAIR. There's a windows client available here.
