Telnet (Teletype Network) is a network protocol used on the Internet or local area networks to provide a bidirectional interactive text-oriented communication facility. It allows a user to log on to a remote computer system and interact with it as if they were physically present at the terminal.

  • File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used for the transfer of computer files from one host to another over a TCP-based network.
  • Remote Net is not a standard technical term for a remote login utility.
