For ftp you have sftp of SSH, then you would have a replace for telnet and ftp. There is also ftp-ssl, patching ftp servers with SSL support. SSH has been made with security in mind, ftp servers normally lack of security and suffer from many bugs...It is up to you to choose any of these posibilities. As a drawback, there is no GUI client under linux for SSH, but there is one for Windows, from www.ssh.com, you can give it a try.
