Telnet-Remote Access to Distant Computers
- Telnet is the tool for using one computer to access a second computer.
- Using Telnet, you can send commands that run programs and open data
files.
- The Telnet program is a transparent window between your own computer
and a distant host system; a computer that you are logging on to.
- The host computer is in a different physical place, but it is as if
you are sitting in front of it and operating it. A Telnet connection sends
input from your keyboard to the host and displays text from the host on
your screen.
- Connecting to a Telnet host is easy; when you enter the address, the
Telnet program set up a connection, when you see log-on message from the
host, you can send an account name and password to start an operating
operations.
- Telnet connections are useful for many purposes. For example, a Telnet
connection to a library�s online catalog.
