I would not use telnet, use SSH openssh.com is better
but anway maybe..
Fixing the telnet problem might be something todo with your tty. on the
client, before running sftp, run "stty -a". This will show you
what your terminal's backspace ("erase") character is set to. If this
is not the same as what your BackSpace key is actually sending, then
change the setting with "stty erase ^h" or similar.
it could be your return as well, same diagnosis
If your BackSpace key is sending the DEC multi-byte "Delete"
escape sequence, then your X server or your terminal emulator may
be misconfigured; in that case, try a different terminal emulator,
or delve into the documentation for your terminal emulator and/or the
xmodmap command.
