ftp and telnet services are enabled by editing /etc/inetd.conf and
removing the # in front of each service.

Once /etc/inetd.conf is edited you must restart inetd by giving the
command "killall -HUP inetd".

Once this is done you should be able to telnet and ftp to the freebsd box.
However, I highly recommend you learn to use ssh, scp, and sftp, which are
secure alternatives to telnet and ftp.
