I use PuTTY as my Windows-based Telnet/SSH client.  It also has a built-in 
X terminal emulator.  It's available free at 
<http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/>.

If OpenSSH is installed correctly, the SSH daemon should be listening to 
port 22 and telnet should NOT be listening at all.  OpenSSH accepts 
connections using secure, encrypted authentication.  From the client side, 
it's just like using telnet, except it stops to create a new encryption key 
when you first connect to a new server.

An SFTP connection works the same way.  Because of the encryption, both are 
somewhat slower than their clear-text counterparts, but they're worth it.

  For more information about OpenSSH, go to the horse's mouth at
