You don't telnet to it.  You FTP to it.  At your command prompt, just
enter:
ftp ab20.larc.nasa.gov
when it asks you for name, type anonymous.  It will say
"Anonymous user OK, type ident as password" or some such thing.  To this,
respond with jy1@ra.MsState.Edu or whatever.  Once logged in, you have
a few commands to get you around, like cd, cdup, ls, dir, type, get, put, and
a few others.  Read the manual entry for ftp first.
