15 Minute Series What is Telnet?


Telnet operates on the client/server principle.

The local computer uses a telnet client program to establish the connection and display data on the local computer's monitor.

The remote, or host, computer uses a telnet server program to accept the connection and send responses to requests for information back to the local computer.
