Someone else has already told you about vsftp.  

I do NOT recommend telnet because of security.  FC3 (as most
distributions of Linux) has ssh already installed.  To enable it simply
"# chkconfig sshd on" followed by "# service sshd start"

Then with any ssh client you can connect similar to telnet but in secure
encrypted mode.
