Most firewalls block inbound ftp, but not outbound.
If they block outbound ftp they probably block telnet as well.
The old sysadmin way around this (which goes on in a lot of small
companies is some geek sets up a linux box with telnet and ftp above
port 7000... which fully bypasses the firewall if they don't have a good
security admin.
The best way to do this stuff is with ssh and scp anyway.

Unfortunately, the firewall of our company does
not allow FTP....
The solution to that is Kermit. Ckermit has a telnet client built
in and can then transfer files over the connection.
