NCSA Telnet does have a built-in ftp server.  What it doesn't have is a built-in
ftp client.  You configure the server using the Edit:Preferences:FTP Server
and Edit:Preferences:FTP Users menus.

I'm not really sure if the 132x43 display feature and programmable
function keys are available, though.  I never use such features myself.

I suppose the definitive source on these questions would be the Users Guide
to version 2.6 available in postscript and in acrobat pdf files
in: 
  ftp://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Mac/Telnet/Telnet2.6/Telnet2.6UserGuide
(unfortunately, the pdf files have been saved in MacBinary and BinHex
formats, which means you will need a Mac to read them)
The latest verion of the program is 2.7b4.  The differences between it
and version 2.6 are summarized in:
  ftp://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Mac/Telnet/Telnet2.7/2.7-doc-addendum.txt
(There doesn't seem to be an actual Users Guide for version 2.7).
