Question

Himani, a class X student, wants to remotely access a computer system far from her house. Which protocol, out of the following, should she prefer to access or log in it remotely?

Options

• FTP

• SFTP

• TCP/IP

• TELNET 

Answer 1

TELNET

Explanation:

Using the TELNET protocol over the Internet, one can remotely access and log in to another computer. This enables users to carry out commands on a distant computer just like they would if they were physically there. Nevertheless, TELNET is considered insecure since it transmits plaintext data, including passwords.
