If you telnet often or transfer sensitive data, I recommend a secure application like SecureCRT. But, if you just need something quick – use Windows.

1. Click ‘Start’ –> ‘Run’

2. Type ‘cmd’, click ‘OK’

3. At the command prompt, type ‘telnet my-hostname’ – or, if you want to telnet to an IP Address, type ‘telnet 1.1.1.1′ (replace with target IP)

4. Enter username and/or password

5. Execute commands on the remote device
