	the telnet session makes your computer " a dumb terminal" where only
the KB,Mouse and Monitor are used. The only way you can do what you want
is ftp the file from the local machine to the server. if the node is
also a linux a machine probably you can make it mountable from the other
machine. export /mnt/floppy [or whatever] in the node and 
mount node:/mnt/floppy /misc [in the server]. man exportfs, man mount
