I would *highly* suggest using ssh/scp instead of telnet/ftp. Don't even offer telnet/ftp services, if possible. Using ssh keys can help avoid entering passwords. For more information, see the ssh manpage (daunting if you have never used ssh). Feel free to pass additional questions back here so that all the readers may benefit.
