Telnet and FTP exist as two different programs for >the MSDOS machines, doesn't it exist for the Macintosh? Where? Check out xferit, archived at sumex-aim as /info-mac/comm/xferit.hqx. A nice implementation. There is also a hypercard based one archived as /info-mac/comm/hyperftp-13.hqx; you probably don't want to deal with the overhead of running a slow program that takes up a meg of RAM, though. Also, if you can get your hands on Mac/IP from Stanford (it's largely free to educational sites, I believe, although I'm not the one to talk to about that - I'm just a lowly undergrad), it also has an ftp function - although it's nowhere near as fast as xferit.
