Who owns the file? From your earlier post I suspect you are telnetting in as admin.
If the file is owned by root you will need to run the telnet shell as the root user
to edit (or in your case move) it. If it's owned by anyone other than root, you
should be able to do what you want as admin. To shell to root from the telnet prompt
do: "su -" (without the quotes of course), then when prompted for your password enter
your admin password.
