About this Download:
Telnet forms part of the basic TCP/IP protocol suite, and is therefore found on most machines that have TCP/IP installed. It is a diagnostic tool that can be used to establish a connection to a remote computer (via a particular 'port'), issue commands to the remote computer, and see the responses it produces. The syntax used to run the telnet program is; telnet, where computer is the hostname, or IP address of the remote computer, and port is the TCP/IP port number that the service runs on.

All Windows versions include Telnet Client and Telnet Server components. Using Telnet Client and Server, you can create a remote-command console session on a host. You can run command-line programs, shell commands and scripts in a remote-command console session just as though you were locally logged on to the host and using a local command prompt window. Having Telnet Client and Server allows for interoperability between disparate operating systems, and facilitates administration of remote systems, saving administrative time and network resources.


System Requirements: Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP
