Rob,
(I'm assuming here the remote machine is a Unix box)
When you telnet, you open up a shell on the remote
machine. The exact location will be determined by the
user .profile, but is generally the top of that users area.

When you are in the session then you use all of the
commands you would normally when in the shell ie the
unix shell commands cd, ls, etc

So once you have logged in - pwd will give you your
location - cd /full path name, and the files should be in
that directory.

If the machine is not unix I assume the process would
be similar.
