  We generalize an already proposed protocol for quantum state transfer to spin
chains of arbitrary spin. An arbitrary unknown $d-$ level state is transferred
through a chain with rather good fidelity by the natural dynamics of the chain.
We compare the performance of this protocol for various values of $d$. A
by-product of our study is a much simpler method for picking up the state at
the destination as compared with the one proposed previously. We also discuss
entanglement distribution through such chains and show that the quality of
entanglement transition increases with the number of levels $d$.
