Scrap telnet for ssh. Scrap ftpd for ssh (authenticated) and/or
publicfile (anonymous).
What's tcpserver.conf?

What's tcpserver-control?

tcpserver listens to a specified port, accepts connections on that
port, and forks a daemon to handle the connection.
daemontools provides a set of utilities for controlling daemons
(services)--starting them, stopping them, signalling them, logging
their output, etc.
tcpserver-control I've never heard of.
