• Application layer Client-Server Protocol used on Internet and Intranet
for accessing remote computer over TCP/IP network.

• The TELNET session between the client and server is not encrypted.
Hence anyone can access the data that flows between the end points
and read the messages including the username and password used
for login to the remote machine.

which overcome the problem of TELNET. It is more secure and
provides more services than TELNET.
