You'll have to use the external FTP (ftp.exe) that comes with telnet.apm.
Probably you'll have to open anather server (like "open ftp.xs4all.nl"
instead of "xs4.xs4all.nl") if you use it manually).
Yet if you use telnet on a unix shell account, try "mc" for a change. The
function keys can be replaced by <escape> with the number key (<esc><1>
instead of <F1>)
