Telnet & SSH
Telnet is a program (or group of programs) commonly used to remotely control UNIX servers. Telnet connects your personal computer to a server on the network. When you enter commands, Telnet executes commands as if you entered them directly on the server. Telnet gives you power to control your Developer Server from your home or office.
Note: While you use Telnet, you are in a UNIX shell environment, so you should know about UNIX commands. More information on UNIX commands is covered later in this chapter.
