Telnet command Example Analysis

Through understanding several commonly used Telnet commands, you should have a general impression on the use of Telnet commands. Here we will analyze a Telnet command example. Telnet is used for remote logon to the Internet. it allows users to sit on the keyboard of an Internet-connected computer and access the computer of another Internet-connected computer through the network. this connection can happen on a computer in the same room or on a computer that has been connected to the Internet all over the world. traditionally, a computer connected to a computer that provides services to all users on the network is called a server, and a machine in use is called a client ). once connected, the client can enjoy all the services provided by the server. you can run a common interaction process (register and run commands) or access many special servers, such as searching for book indexes. various services provided by different hosts on the Internet can be used.

The simplest way to use the Telnet protocol is to type in the command line:

%telnet remote-computer-name(or IP) 

Here the C shell of UNIX system is used, because the command is set to "% ". if other computer systems (such as OS, VAX/VMS, and Macintosh) commands are used, there are only some differences in details, but they are essentially the same, the following is an example of a basic Telnet command:

telnet porky.math.ukans.edu
