I highly recommend you discontinue using telnet, as OpenSSH will do what
you wish with ssh (replaces telnet) and scp (secure copy) and sftp (secure
ftp).

With scp you can typically transfer one or more file with one command line
entry, then background it with & and redirect any output to /dev/null.

Additionally, there's netcat and cryptcat from ports which you can use to
transfer files without necessitating ftp services.
