How To Use Telnet You can do a lot of things with your connection to the Internet. A lot of new Internet users aren't aware of all the things you can do with your Internet connection.
Most people only surf the web and check their e-mail.
However, you can do much more. The Telnet program runs on your computer and connects your PC to a server on the network. You can then enter commands through the Telnet program and they will be executed as if you were entering them directly on the server console. This enables you to control the server and communicate with other servers on the network. To start a Telnet session, you must log in to a server by entering a valid username and password.
