You might want to do a search on google and otherwise read up on SSH.
If you install SSH, use version 2. Version one is full of exploits.
You can disable telnet if you want to (I recommend it); or you can
have them both running at the same time.
Same thing with FTP. If you've got clients though, diabling FTP is
usually not an option.

There are secure FTP clients out there; but I guarantee they're not
what your clients are used to using. If your clients are normally
allowed to have shell access (ack); then they'll have to use an SSH
client to connect (if you disable telnet). These can be pretty
expensive, but there's a free one called Putty that works just fine
(for Windoze machines, do a search on google for Putty SSH and it
should be the first link to come up).
