Telnet/SSHConnecting to Hosts
Internet Technology 1
What is Telnet? Method for connecting to hosts
Enables remote login (rlogin) to computers on the Internet• One computer can connect to another to use its services• Like Window’s Remote Desktop
Establishes a “dumb terminal” session• No processing on the client side once connected• Local terminal appears to be a terminal at the remote system.• Simple input/output device
Client-Server Application Users (clients) connect to multiuser computers (servers) Uses telnet protocol (port 23) over Internet (TCP/IP) One of the first Internet applications (1968)
Internet Technology 2
Why Telnet? Before PC became popular
People used terminals physically connected to big computers (e.g., mainframes)
Problems• Need a terminal per machine per user
→ 3 mainframes & 5 users = 15 terminals→ Like having 10 TVs to view 10 channels
• Difficult to access over distance
Telnet protocol made possible “terminal emulation”
• i.e., virtual terminal regardless of location & hardware
⇓• any computer running telnet client• can connect to & use any computer
running telnet server• over Internet (TCP/IP, physical layer)
Internet Technology 3
Telnet: Client-Server Architecture
Telnet Server The actual server is software that runs typically on larger computers
• with multi-user, multi-tasking operating systems like Unix &• a full-time/direct/high-speed connection to Internet
May provide dumb terminal access to• external data & services
→ library database or commercial service
• internal data & applications→ files on disk, shell account
Telnet Client The software that initiates a telnet connection Provides the interface and a set of features for the end user
• e.g., allow user to use custom fonts/colors
Internet Technology 4
Telnet: How to Use
telnet HOSTNAME PORTNUMBER HOSTNAME = host name or IP address PORTNUMBER = port
• Default telnet (login) port = 23• Web server port = 80
Examples• telnet widit.knu.ac.kr 80
→ Connect to WIDIT Web Server• telnet rainmaker.wunderground.com
→ Access weather information• telnet sdf.lonestar.org
→ Create a shell account at SDF Public Access Unix System
Internet Technology 5
Telnet: Weakness
Telnet suffers from a major security problem Communication is done in plain text
• Data from/to client and server can be captured by a LAN computer using a snooper software

SecureSHell Overview Replacement for Telnet
Communication between computers using encryption • Encryption = transform data in unreadable form• Communication is encrypted over a secure channel
Current standard for remote login (port 22)• Secure command shell (remote execution of commands)
History Originated from an academic project in Finland Commercialized in 1998 by SSH Communications Security SSH1 expired in May 1995 because of security flaws SSH2 is currently used

Internet Technology 9
FTP Overview Used to transfer files from one computer to another
Port 20, 21 - one to send data and one to send commands
A basic Internet service (like telnet and email)
Works with all types of computers (Unix, pc, mac, etc.) &all types of files (“binary” and “text”)
One of the first Internet applications (1971)
Involves Navigation on both client and server User authentication
• Exception: Anonymous FTP→ Allows access to “public” FTP sites→ Only allows access to specific directories→ e.g., login ID=anonymous, password=email address
Suffers from security problem similar to Telnet
Internet Technology 10
SFTP Overview Stands for
SSH File Transfer Protocol
Provides Secure data transfer by data encryption over an SSH session Replacement for FTP
SFTP Clients GUI Interactive file transfer programs Perform all operations over an encrypted transport Examples
• SSH Secure File Transfer (includes SSH client: SSH Secure Shell)• WinSCP – supports SFTP & SCP
• FileZilla – cross platform (Windows, Linux, Mac OS)
