This works fine for a classical system, but the quantum randomness that protects against faster-than-light communication complicates the situation when you talk about trying to send quantum states. In all these cases, the operating principle is the same: you determine the information needed to reproduce the object you want at the destination, send that information, and make a copy. You can imagine extending this to three-dimensional objects using an MRI scanner or something to determine the interior structure, and a 3-d printer at the far end. (These days, you would probably use a scanner and email the document, or just snap a picture with a phone and email that.). An old-school, low-tech analogue of this is a fax machine: you take a document, scan it to determine the information needed to reproduce it, send that information over telecommunications lines, and print out a copy at the far end. The name "teleportation" obviously raises certain expectations, namely that you make a device that takes a thing at point A and re-creates it at point B.
