Example:
Use ssh to untar a file on one machine onto another:

SSH is cool.

Telnet isn't very secure, everything you do is unencrypted. So someone could
sniff out your root password for example.

(BTW, use ssh ;) )

Did you do a su or a su - ?
Try su - and you should get the full root enviroment. But in all honesty:
Use SSH.
