what is the difference between ssh & telnet

Answer Posted / 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
