telnet and ftp are disabled by default (as they should be). The easiest thing to do is simply NOT use telnet .. use SSH instead. If you really want to use telnet, you need to edit /etc/xinit.d/telnet to enable it. Same goes for ftp.
Then run /etc/init.d/xinetd restart ftp to outside boxes works because you are using a client, not a server. (example given is RH7.2 ... not sure what others do).
