Telnet and SSH

For security purposes InfoTeam does not provide telnet access.
We do however, provide SSH access.

Telnet vs. SSH

For many years telnet has been the means by which users logged onto remote computers. But telnet transmits data in plain readable text, which is readily intercepted by hackers.

There's now a better choice: It's SSH (which stands for Secure Shell). SSH clients work just like traditional telnet clients. You can use SSH to do anything you might typically do with telnet and with the assurance that your password and other sensitive information are secure.

Downloading a free SSH Client

For Windows users we recommend PuTTY.

There are multiple related programs on their download page, but putty.exe is the single file (no setup required) to download:

For Macintosh users we recommend NiftyTelnet 1.1 SSH.
