what is the difference between ssh & telnet..

Answer / madhu

SSH is secure shell where you can generate SSL and make
trusted relation ship. Basically it is secured. Telnet is
normal way u can connect to the server and work.

Normally as per Network Security Policies, it is advised
not to use telnet and ftp. Just because hackers will use
most probaby these two protocols for hacking the server.

what is the difference between ssh & telnet..

Answer / muhammad sohaib

A one word answer to this question is Encryption. Basically
both Telnet and SSH are terminal emulators and are used to
access your system remotely, means that you can login you
system through internet or over a network and issue
commands. SSH just encrypts your connection to the remote
machine so when you send your password or commands over the
network someone else cannot sniff the packets and interpret
your password as it in encoded while if you are using Telnet
than all your passwords and information will be transferred
over the network as plain text and some rogue party can
easily interpret that

what is the difference between ssh & telnet..

Answer / typeaux

ssh (secure shell) -- Named "secure" because everything you
key in is encrypted during transport and cannot be easily
deciphered and read by anyone else. It is only decrypted at
the receiving hosts.

telnet -- All traffic is in "plaintext" and can be read by
anyone intercepting the message during transport between
endpoints.

SSH: We can only login into server through port 22 in a
secure way.

Telnet: Login into any server, through any port.
e.g. # telnet localhost 25
for checking smtp port. Which is not possible through ssh.
