Title: Introduction to Telnet Clients
Telnet, short for Telecommunication Network, is a protocol used on the internet or local area networks to provide bidirectional interactive text-oriented communication. Telnet clients are applications that enable users to establish Telnet connections with remote computers or servers. These clients facilitate communication by allowing users to remotely access command-line interfaces, run programs, and manage files on remote systems.
Telnet clients come in various forms, ranging from simple command-line interfaces to graphical user interfaces with advanced features. Some popular Telnet clients include PuTTY, SecureCRT, and Tera Term. These clients offer a range of functionalities such as session logging, SSH tunneling, and scripting capabilities, catering to different user needs and preferences.
When using a Telnet client, users typically provide the hostname or IP address of the remote system they want to connect to, along with the port number if it differs from the default Telnet port (23).
