In the UNIX tradition, that archiving function could be done by a separate
process which connects to a TCP/IP server in the same way as a normal
client.  That way, it could be run on the server itself, or by anyone who
wants to collect archives over the Net (even if they don't have a receiver).
Something like:

./tel-archive 127.0.0.1 2001 > /home/ftp/telemetry.txt &

This functionality could also be built into the programs that display
telemetry.
