Of course, for the ftp lovers, there is sftp which also works through sshd, but presents an ftp-like interface to the user:

$ sftp localhost
Connecting to localhost...
mgogala_at_localhost's password:

sftp> cd tmp
sftp> lcd /tmp
sftp> mget *.php
Fetching /home/mgogala/tmp/figure3.php to figure3.php

sftp> bye

Of course, there are some differences. For instance, the "prompt" command is not recognized. Nevertheless, all true faithful will use sftp and ssh instead of ftp, telnet and rsh.
