If it's something you think should be coveed in teh course, ask the teacher of said course
Reply:If you're talking about an actual file sharing program by any chance (sounds like you're talking about ftp), then a good file sharing client for Linux is Nicotine+, it's a Soulseek client.

Reply:We did the same thing in my college but we used FTP to transfer files. I imagine your school's linux servers have FTP so try FTPing to the same IP you telnet to and use your telnet credentials.
