Secure method - get files - no ssh/scp

I have two servers.
server 1 - secure server running ssh only on solaris 9. I can installed whatever I need here as long as its reasonably secure

server 2 - running telnet (no ssh/scp installed) - I cannot change much on this server and cannot install much..

I need to pull some files from server 2 to server 1.
What is the best / resonably secure method of getting these files given the situation above?
ftp is not very secure.. is it... I could share a directory on the filesystem but not so sure how secure this is either..

any thoughts?

There is no relationship between the protocol used by sftp-server and the FTP protocol (RFC 959) provided by in.ftpd. EXIT STATUS
