And if your don't want to go poking around in them (or are on a remote
server), the HylaFAX client-server protocol makes it easy too:

mountie@pepper:~$ ncftp -P 4559 espresso

ncftp / > quote job 12345
Current job: jobid: 12345 groupid: 12345.
ncftp / > quote jparm document
PCL docq/doc43.ps
End of documents.
ncftp / > get docq/doc43.ps
doc43.ps:                                              386.57 kB   96.06

ncftp / > quit

Gotta love the protocol - Just use your favourite FTP program...
