The nature of unix tools is that you can make about anything work if you use the 
shell to glue in missing functionality with some other tool.  nc by itself would 
be better at bulk network transfers while expect would be better at interactive 
chatting where you need to parse the output from the other side.  With perl's 
Net::Telnet module you'd have a good tool for the chat plus a complete 
programing language around it.

But, I'll repeat the advice to use something based on ssh if the other end is a 
computer - and if you are moving files around, use rsync over ssh.
