Telnet
Telnet is a user command and an underlying TCP/IP protocol for accessing remote computers. The Web or HTTP protocol and the FTP protocol allow you to request specific files from remote computers, but not to actually be logged on as a user of that computer. With Telnet, you log on as a regular user with whatever privileges you may have been granted to the specific applications and data on that computer.
To begin using Telnet first you will need to find a Telnet program: This can usually be done by simply trying to point your browser to telnet://yourdomain.tld or visiting your personal CNC, located at http://www.yourdomain.com (remember to replace yourdomain.com with your own domain name) and clicking on the Telnet option from the menu. A fully functional browser-based Telnet client is there for you, providing your browser supports this type of feature.

All commands are case-sensitive,

and, you must press the RETURN key after you type the command.
