You already have a similar thread open that has been answered located here:

It is very hard to read your messages, keep in mind that many of the people here are professionals, I ask that you take the extra time required to formulate correct sentences using correct (or readable) spelling.  I also ask that you please do not post the Subject and Name fields in all Caps, this is very annoying.  Use a real name too, or a nickname so we can identify you.

I also ask that you take the time to think about what you are typing.  In reference to:

RPM -xvf is not valid, you are thinking tar -xvf
You cannot install an arbitrary version of EGCS/GCC and expect it to work.

I simply ask that you try to remain as professional as possible.  Everyone is willing to help, please make it easy for us to help you.  As always, RTFM first.  Have you investigated any material on basic Linux file system security, the answers to your questions are there?

Please take this as constructive criticism,

To answer you questions:

1) Configure the server to use SSH only, not Telnet.
2) Login to your server as root using SSH.  If you do not have a SSH client use http://www.stickit.nu/putty.exe
3) Be amazed at the God-Mode rights you have.  You cannot use the root account to FTP, but SSH is probably faster.

Do not login as root via Telnet, data sent via telnet is non-encrypted and can be 'sniffed'.

Hope this helped.

i want to have access to it by ftp! not ssh.. and yes offcourse i use putty...
havent u ever want to get a files from someones homedr without having to copy it or modify owner rights to the dir to actually access them... or even dumber.. having to use the persons account to access the homedir

Well, I STRONGLY recommend you DO NOT DO THIS because FTP is a non-encrypted protocol, but you can simply remove the username "root" from /etc/ftpusers allowing root FTP login.
