Telnet to Linux?

Question

linux

I want to connect to a computer at work via telnet, we need Ubuntu and I have never used telnet in Linux, here are the questions: -
How to create a telnet user and set a password for him in Linux and delete it if
necessary then operations in Telnet, for example, deleting files or something like that
- Telnet is enabled by default or do you need to ask for it to be enabled at work? Is it possible to hang it as a demon and hang it on another port and hide that telnet is hanging here for security?

Answer 1

if you don't have a perfectly clear idea why you need telnet instead of ssh, then you still need ssh, not telnet.
ssh user is the user of the OS you are connecting to via ssh. just use the username and password you use to log into your machine at work.
the password from the system will be requested in exactly the same cases in which it is requested when you work at work under your user.
whether or not ssh is enabled on your system - you need to look at your system. may or may not be included. In any case, it will be necessary to ask the administrator, because even if it is enabled on your machine, the port from the Internet to your machine is almost certainly not forwarded. how the ssh daemon works. it is possible to transfer to another port.

Answer 2

you are confusing telnet with ssh. although there is a lot of educational information about both.

Answer 3

telnet sends EVERYTHING in plain text. It's outdated a long time ago, insecure, and no one is telneting a shell these days. Everyone uses ssh.
To use ssh, you just need to create an account on Linux. The ssh daemon is usually already up on the standard ssh port.
Have you ever worked in the console on Linux? How did you connect, if from work? Also from home.

Answer 4

I want to telnet to my work computer

Why via telnet? I know of only one case when the use of telnet was justified - when I killed ssh on synology by clumsiness and I had to somehow get to it ...
And you need ssh. Not "maybe ssh?", but an imperative - you need ssh. Because communication with a remote computer is done only in safe mode, and telnet sends everything - logins, passwords - in CLEAR TEXT .
