   do you mean like telnetting from one system to another and then downloading   
   and expecting it to cross both telnet hops?   
      
   if yes, i would first be looking at the connection between the two servers and   
   seeing if it is a binary capable stream or not... if it is not, is there an   
   attempt to switch it to being so? whatever the client passes to the   
   first server might should also be passed to the second server so channel   
   switches like this can take place...   
      
   if this switching is being sent to the first server but not passing on to the   
   second one, well... i dunno... could be a security thing or just a defect...   
   or maybe even a policy thing... more research is needed ;)
