TELNET SERVER

What is TELNET? –
            TELNET is a user command and an underlying TCP/IP protocol for accessing remote computers. Through Telnet, an administrator or another user can access someone else's computer remotely. On the Web, HTTP and FTP protocols allow you to request specific files from remote computers, but not to actually be logged on as a user of that computer. With Telnet, you log on as a regular user with whatever privileges you may have been granted to the specific application and data on that computer.

The result of this request would be an invitation to log on with a UserID and a prompt for a password. If accepted, you would be logged on like any user who used this computer every day.
