Installing:
Use apt-get to install these services, e.g.:
apt-get install telnetd
There are several ftp servers available, among them proftpd ans vsftpd,
so first you have to decide which one you want to use.
Maybe you want to read the man pages or the apt HowTo to learn more
about Debian package management.
Activating/Decativating:
You can use update-inetd for services started by inetd or edit
/etc/inetd.conf by hand and comment out the services that you don't
want to be run (you have to make inetd reload the configuration after
it has been changed).
For services that work in standalone mode, use update-rc.d or remove the
links to the init script in the runlevel you want the service not to be
run (take a look at /etc/init.d for the scripts and /etc/rc*.d for the
links).
Please remember that services like telnet and ftp send passwords and
data over the net in cleartext. Maybe you want to use ssh and sftp
instead, which support encryption.
best regards
