Telnet is a protocol designed to remotely access computers in a client-server fashion. Telnet is inherently insecure, as the data passed from the client to the server or vice-versa is not encrypted. For connections through insecure networks (such as the Internet), SSH (Secured SHell), should be used so all communications between the client and server are encrypted.

Telnet can be defined as a "remote login system". This remote login system can enable one user to connect to another computer system DIRECTLY on the Internet. It also will allow them to access stored files from sites. (Internet Marketing, ACDIEBOLD)
