I don't really follow the logic. telnet is not designed for file
transfer but for interactive login.
I wasn't aware that it's about file transfer. (ftp to the rescue? :-))
I have some "older" systems which cannot handle the ssh/encryption
overhead. (Older ssh versions allowed to set encryption to "none" but
this is somehow gone.)
Think about 68k, VAX, Z80, 6502 machines. No way for the latter two to
support ssh. And these are machines sitting in my network which I want
to access to/from remote.
And, after all, if you insist on ssh on your "trusted local network", is
it then really "trusted"?
