What I'd really like to do is to be able to "break out" of the direct connection between my keyboard and the far end, and issue a local command to squirt said file down the line via the telnet session. And then break back in again.
Sending the Escape code (usually by pressing ^] ) should break out of the telnet session.
The next step of sending a text file, I'm not sure.
Can you run "screen"? That has copy and paste facilities for the mouseless.
