I can use only Telnet or Fpt to gain access to the appropriate directory and I cannot find a way of sending my password via telnet which always supplies a 'Password:' prompt. Telnet allows me to provide my user name when I start it or via 'Open' but there appears to be no option for Passsword.
Can I automate this process from within a script?
you could use wget(1) and access the file via ftp? wget ftp://username:password@host/dir/file or if you can, install scp/ssh and use dh/dsa key pairs
