- Yes it certainly is possible. I use NCSA telnet to do it but I think you
- should be able to do it with Clarkson's as well. You need to have one
- of these telnets on the PC you want to transfer from and you need an ftp
- program on the machine you want to transfer to. On the machine you want
- to transfer from you start up telnet in server mode with the -s option.
- You will probably need to change things associated with userid verification
- - there is a field in CONFIG.TEL called passfile that you will need to
- set and you will need to create the password file using a program called
- telpass. For further information read the documentation. I hope this helps.
