Telnet Access Using Windows, choosing the right Software

Telnet Access Using Windows, choosing the right Software
Networking

This is an uncomplicated advice, if you work remotely on a Linux computer one moment or another you will need to access it via telnet, there are a lot of programs around the internet, that will do this, some are free, some are not.

So far I have been working for over a decade giving remote assistance to Linux computers, and when in windows, the best free server so far is one called "Putty", it's a simple straightforward program that allows you to connect to the other machine. it can emulate colors and all ( in case you use MC or something of such sort )

now as part of this advice, it's important to remember not to use "telnet" because it is very insecure, but to have on your Linux computer telnet disabled, and use SSH instead, that's the same as telnet but secure.

Remember always, security is the most important thing now when it comes to computers and networking.
