Telnet is a protocol used to provide remote access to systems over the internet. To use it, you need to launch a Telnet client on your computer.
1. To begin, open the Telnet client on your computer. This can be done by searching for “telnet” in the Start Menu on Windows or by opening the Terminal on Mac OS X.
2. Next, enter the IP address or hostname of the remote system you would like to access.
3. If the system requires authentication, you will need to enter your username and password. If authentication is not required, you will be taken directly to the command prompt.
4. Once authenticated, you can type in commands and execute them on the remote system.
5. When you are done using the Telnet client, type in the command “exit” or “quit” to close the connection.
