Not to be argumentative, but FTP and telnet both transmit login names and
passwords via plain text, that's one of the main reasons why you have SSH and
the SFTP / SCP protocols. It all ties into server or computer security if
you're on a public network as anyone with a packet sniffer / logger can get
your credentials and then get on to your system unless you use SSH / SSL
tunneling to encrypt the FTP / telnet transmitions or setup a VPN (virtual
private network). But, the former really seems like an academic exercise. Why
tunnel telnet or FTP protocols through SSH if you already have SSH. SSL
tunneling or VPN tunneling of those might be more practical, but, harder to
setup possibly, and again, why? My only real point - just that it all does tie
back into your system security if you have it on any kind of public network, so
be aware of that if you choose to use those protocols.

Honestly, unless you have some sort of reason for using ftp, use SFTP. It’s not
about the security of the server, but the way data is sent.
Using ngrep, you can see your passwords fly across the wires in plain text with
ftp, whereas sftp is encrypted. I don’t know much about network security, but
I’m sure SSH / SFTP is inherently more secure than ftp.
Seconly, you don’t need another server running. You already seem to have sshd
running because you’re using ssh, so you can just §scp§ anything you like.
Finally, if you’re only doing 1 or two files, you can use scp from the command
line if you have it installed on either windows or linux… Or OS X for that
matter.
