Your concerns about the insecurity of Telnet and FTP are almost
certainly justified - but, I don't think it was necessary to go into
such length without giving him the option to come back to you with some
indication of what sort of situation he's in. They might even be a
couple of computers that are wired together and have no outside world
connection, in which case it doesn't matter _how_ insecure any
communication between them is - and, in fact, complex encrypted
communication would just make the whole thing more complicated, at least
to one who knows telnet and ftp but not the others you mention.
