Telnet is a service that allows you to remotely control your Virtual Server and access other computers out of your area.

Note: Telnet is not a secure connection, and for this reason Enetrics Communications recommends SSH, which transmits data across an encrypted channel.

All the UNIX commands that you use with Telnet can also be used with SSH. More on UNIX commands later. For more information, see:

Note: Be sure to choose an SSH client that supports the ssh1 protocol in order to be compatible with our Virtual Servers.
