Parameters for telnet session?

Wed Jun 18, 2014 10:59 pm

Which parameters do I have to use to succesfully establish a telnet session with the Pi? (host=IP, username=guest and so).

Use ssh not telnet. putty is a good client and is available for many platforms.

Same username and password as on a keyboard directly on the RPi.

See sig.

If you really want to run telnet on port 23 you'll need to install a daemon and a client.

sudo apt-get install telnetd telnet

The client of choice on windows is PuTTY.

Please be aware the telnet is insecure and you should use SSH if you can and definitely if you plan to open things up to the public internet.

I don't know the difference between telnet and ssh. Which ssh clients are there for Windows?
