How is Secure Shell (SSH) different from Telnet?

• SSH makes connections over the network, whereas Telnet is for out-of-band access.

• SSH provides security to remote sessions by encrypting messages and using user authentication. Telnet is considered insecure and sends messages in plaintext.

• SSH requires the use of the PuTTY terminal emulation program. Tera Term must be used to connect to devices through the use of Telnet.

• SSH must be configured over an active network connection, whereas Telnet is used to connect to a device from a console connection.
