You don't want to be running telnetd, rlogind and rshd anyway unless you
have a specific reason for doing so. You can add modular ssh support to
teraterm (http://www.zip.com.au/~roca/ttssh.html) and save yourself some
money - the ssh extension is not developed in the US, therefore you're
free of export restrictions too. Since teraterm is in itself an excellent
terminal program, if the ssh extension works, it's a good choice. Or run
FreeBSD on your home machine too :).

Not out of the box, you'll need port forwarding which can be messy. I'd
prefer scp if it can be used for the task at hand.
