1.1.20 does support this. Simply execute the command
FTP
after connecting the the telnet host. This will start the Microsoft
FTP client or any other ftp client you can configured using
SET FTP ...
However, Clarence you are not using 1.1.20. You are using the test
build of 1.1.21 which has the built-in FTP client support.

Simple answer: You can't. Passwords in scripts cannot be encrypted.
Passwords in scripts generated by the dialer are encoded but since the
K95 process must be able to decode them before transmitting them to the
host, they are hardly encrypted.
