Okay, I was able to get the file. The problem was that I was telnetting in,
and then typing "ftp" at the telnet prompt. I guess that ftp thought I was at
server. The solution was to exit the telnet connection, THEN type ftp and it
works every time based solely on the "get" command.

This "ftp remote" that you mentioned may be a solution to that problem, where
I can ftp _while_ still in telnet. Really I should  be using ssh, and scp
(assuming ssh can do the mySQL dump and tarring that telnet does).

Thank you all for your  help on this.  Now in a "but wait, it gets worse"
fashion: Is there anyway to make this a .sh script that I can click on? How
does the sh script know to wait for the file to get tarred and transfered
before deleteing the file (there is a time delay)?
