SSH (Secure Shell) and Telnet are both protocols used to access computers and networks remotely. Although they each perform the same task, they differ in many ways.
SSH is a secure protocol, while Telnet is not. SSH uses public–key cryptography and strong authentication mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access a remote machine. In contrast, Telnet transfers data in plain text, which makes it extremely vulnerable to packet sniffing and man–in–the–middle attacks. In addition, SSH is more versatile than Telnet, as it allows users to tunnel traffic and create encrypted connections.
Telnet does not offer these features, so users cannot securely access a remote server without using another protocol.
