telnet:connect
Telnet to a specific port of a host.
$ telnet ${ip_address} ${port}
try on your machine
The command "telnet ${ip_address} ${port}" is used to establish a Telnet session with a remote host specified by the IP address and port number.
- "${ip_address}" refers to the internet protocol (IP) address of the remote host you want to connect to.
- "${port}" refers to the specific port number on which the Telnet service is running on the remote host.
When you run this command, the Telnet client on your local machine will attempt to connect to the specified IP address and port number. If successful, a Telnet session will be established, allowing you to communicate with the remote host through the Telnet protocol.
