wow - a box with telnet, tftp and NFS open and no FTP?  Lemme guess - not
included for security reasons? lol

I have a number of nice gui's for ftp stuff if you forgot to mention that one.

I am not aware of any front ends for rsync, but that doesn't mean there aren't
any.  I also don't know of any linux gui's for ssh - but I believe I once ran
across a version for winblows.  Lemme know if you want me to try to remember
where I saw it.
