What does TELNET mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A network protocol, and the program that uses it, for logging into and controlling a remote computer over a network.
Telnet lets a user sit at one computer and type commands that run on another machine entirely, as if connected by a direct terminal cable. It was one of the earliest tools for remote access on the internet, widely used before the web existed, and it also gives its name to the client program people ran to make such a connection. Because telnet sends everything, including passwords, without encryption, more secure protocols such as SSH have largely replaced it for serious use.
