Telnet SSH Terminal

What is a Telnet SSH Terminal connection

---

Telnet is a network protocol that provides remote access to command-line interfaces (CLIs) on various systems, typically without encryption. While less secure than modern protocols like SSH, Telnet is still used for managing legacy systems, network devices, and certain applications that don’t require encrypted communication. SSH (Secure Shell) is a secure network protocol that provides remote access to CLIs on Windows, Linux, and Mac systems. Using public-key cryptography and symmetric encryption, SSH ensures secure communication for tasks like remote server management, file transfers, and console applications.

With Thinfinity® Workspace, users can access any console-based application via a TLS 1.3 encrypted web browser connection. This simplifies secure access to administration tools, network routers, and cloud services without complex configurations. Thinfinity® Workspace also supports popular SSH clients like PuTTY, OpenSSH, and KiTTY, enabling secure connections from any platform.

To access a Telnet SSH terminal access profile settings: In the Thinfinity Workspace home page click the three-dot button at the top right of the profile tile and then select Edit.
