Telnet SSH Connection
What is Telnet SSH?
The Telnet SSH connection uses the Telnet protocol to communicate with a remote terminal (network device or server) over a TCP/IP connection. It allows users to connect to embedded and legacy systems in a secure, consistent and user-friendly way across all connectivity modes.
Secure Shell (SSH) is a network protocol designed for secure remote access to command-line interfaces (CLIs) on Windows, Linux, and Mac systems. It leverages public-key cryptography and symmetric encryption, to ensure secure communication for tasks such as remote server management, file transfers, and console-based applications.
In Thinfinity Workspace, the Telnet SSH method allows the user to choose whether or not to use the SSH secure alternative.
