Telneting to a machine

[chum_arun]

Hi all,

I need to clarify some doubts on the TELNET.

For example my ip is 10.x.x.x and i m in a network(organisation). So if i want to telnet to my machine from another machine..what should i do??? Is it a complex process or a simple process..

You shouldn't use telnet at all. Use SSH. Then it's just a simple command:

[cmd=]ssh user@host[/cmd]

read man telnet
its very simple. But its not secure. when you enter your id & password its passed over the network as text. But from one pc to another on a private LAN should be no problem. Just dont use telnet over the public internet.
