Without mentioning that ssh lets you do tricks like this:

  cat /local/path/file | ssh user at othermachine diff - /remote/path/file

You also get scp with it;  it helps to have it use private/public key,
instead of password...

If you really want telnet, you will need to enable it in xinetd's
configuration file; if that still does not work, verify that you are not
using a firewall.
