Of course.  I do it all the time.  Just type as follows:

$ telnet

and you'll get a telnet prompt.  You can also type:

$ telnet targetmachine.com

to get right into the target machine.

When you do this, the control-right-square-bracket-key ( ^] )    is the 
"escape" key; you need to remember that so you can get back from the 
machine you're telnetting into, to your own machine.

I presume you know you're talking about two different programs here; telnet 
being one and ftp being another.

yes, you can do this with ftp, as well as with telnet.  The same way, 
except you must learn all the command-line ftp prompts; it's a little bit 
less intuitive to run ftp from a command line than it is from the windows 
interface you're probably used to <smile>.

To learn more about your telnet client, use:

$ man telnet

and to learn more about your ftp client, use:

$ man ftp

It's that simple.
