What is Telnet?
Telnet
is a simple, text-based program that allows you to connect to another computer
by using the Internet. If you've been granted the right to connect to that
computer by that computer's owner or administrator, Telnet will allow you to
enter commands used to access programs and services that are on the remote
computer, as if you were sitting right in front of it. Telnet can be used for
many things, including accessing e‑mail, databases, or files.
How to Activate Telnet in
Windows 7 ?
Create User:
- Create a user and set password
Installing Telnet:
- Open the “Control Panel”. By default, Telnet is not installed with Windows 7. It will need to be manually activated in order for you to use it. You can do so through the Control Panel, which can be accessed from the Start menu.
- Open "Programs and Features" or "Programs". The option available to you will depend on whether your Control Panel is in Icon or Category view, but they both take you to the same.
4. Find the "Telnet Client and Telnet
Server" entry. In
the list of available features, you will see an entry labeled Telnet Client.
You may have to scroll down to find it. Check the box next to Telnet Client, Telnet
Server, and click OK.
You may have to wait a minute or two
for the client to be installed after selecting it.
