I've used Telnet in past only to connect to remote terminals while
working at MSU and didn't know a whole lot of what it did exactly.
Telnet is a protocol for remote computing on the Internet. It allows a
computer to act as a remote terminal on another machine, anywhere on the
Internet. This means that when you telnet to a particular host and port,
the remote computer (which must have a telnet server) accepts input
directly from your computer (which must have a telnet client) and output
for your session is directed to your screen. There are many library and
information resources that are accessible through telnet.
What I learned about Telnet's uses?
1)Telnet allows you to log into other remote computers via IP addresses.
2)Used with Unix/Linus commands.
Where did I practice telnet?
Well, I use to use telnet to access my msu pilot account. So I typed in
telnet://pilot.msu.edu and was able to still get into The Pilot Email
System. It's been so long but was able to get in. Found out I had 1793
messages. So I cleaned out my mailbox from way back when. Nothing but
junk mail. They are in process of changing their email system and this
will be gone for good.
