Telnet
Telnet is a program that runs on your computer and allows you to
connect to a server. As an emulation program, the commands you enter
through telnet are executed as if you were typing them directly
into the server's keyboard (just like when you remote control your
TV). To prevent unauthorized people from fiddling (to put it mildly)
with server data, only folks with a valid username and password
get to remotely control servers.
