telnet gives a remote shell to the client. ftp is different. if you did the default redhat install you probably do have ftp running and just dont know it, to enable if first go to /etc/inetd.conf (this may or may not be the right file in redhat, but it probably is) and look for the line that says:
# ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.ftpd
now see the hash mark in front? the #, remove that then try to ftp to your box from a remote computer. if that dosnt do it then you dont have ftp running, then you should use red hats packaging system, probably included with your distrobution is wu-ftp and pro-ftpd either one is good, some say one is more secure than the other, but you can research your self online and make that judgment, choose whats best for you. hope that helps.

ftpusers
ftpusers(4) ftpusers(4)
NAME
ftpusers - file listing users to be disallowed ftp login privileges
SYNOPSIS
/etc/ftpd/ftpusers
The ftpusers file lists users for whom ftp login privileges are disallowed. Each ftpuser entry is a single line of the form:
name
where name is the user's login name.
The FTP Server, in.ftpd(1M), reads the ftpusers file. If the login name of the user matches one of the entries listed, it rejects the login
attempt.
The ftpusers file has the following default configuration entries:
root
daemon
bin
sys
adm
lp
uccp
nuucp
smmsp
listen
nobody
noaccess
nobody4
These entries match the default instantiated entries from passwd(4). The list of default entries typically contains the superuser root and
other administrative and system application identities.
The root entry is included in the ftpusers file as a security measure since the default policy is to disallow remote logins for this iden-
tity. This policy is also set in the default value of the CONSOLE entry in the /etc/default/login file. See login(1). If you allow root
login privileges by deleting the root entry in ftpusers, you should also modify the security policy in /etc/default/login to reflect the
site security policy for remote login access by root.
Other default entries are administrative identities that are typically assumed by system applications but never used for local or remote
login, for example sys and nobody. Since these entries do not have a valid password field instantiated in shadow(4), no login can be per-
formed.
If a site adds similar administrative or system application identities in passwd(4) and shadow(4), for example, majordomo, the site should
consider including them in the ftpusers file for a consistent security policy.
Lines that begin with # are treated as comment lines and are ignored.
