"Hi my name is Dave Andrews, today I'm going to show you how to connect your remote computer using Telnet. To launch Telnet, lets click on the start button down at the bottom. Go to command prompt, see all programs, scroll up to accessories, and select command prompt. To Telnet to your remote computer, we want to type the Telnet command followed by a space and then the address of that remote computer. In this case, I'm connecting to one nine two, dot one six eight dot one dot five, which is the IP address of the server I'm connecting to. Telnet is an insecure system which means that it transmit everything it transmit by plain text. If anybody was listening in on it, they can catch what you are sending. So that's basically what it's telling you by this prompt that you are ok with that. And you would just say yes. Now it's going to provide you with a log in prompt. I'm just going to log in with my user name and password on the server. As you can see, I get a command line that's actually going on the server. And I can run commands and such as though I were sitting at the desktop. My name is Dave Andrews and I've just showed you how to connect to a remote server using Telnet."
