OK - just to follow up on this...

I have started using WinSCP to login as root and admin - it is everything
that I have been whining about for the past 6 months! Very fast, secure,
nice interface and I can finally see the file structure layout of the RaQ.

I have also been able to login to the various sites using WSFTP since I
enabled shell access to the users who are administrators. Telnet is turned
OFF.

This may seem very simple to most of you - maybe it will help someone down
the road.
