How do you think this would work by resetting the machine?
Telnet by root is by default disabled in FreeBSD. Lo in as a user
trusted to be root and `su -` to root. If you want ftp you have to set
up FreeBSD to allow ftp. Start (as root) /stand/sysinstall There you can
add an ftp account and enable ftp.
