I have a new Suse 10 installation and want to allow my grandson to
access with ftp any of my files from his remote location. And also
telnet.
I can't remember how to do this and sure would appreciate some help.

If that access is via the internet, you don't want to do that. Telnet
and ftp are not secure, with the password transmitted in clear text. A
better choice would be ssh and scp.
