SSH vs Telnet

Developers should learn SSH for secure remote access to servers, automating deployments, and managing infrastructure in cloud environments meets developers should learn telnet for legacy system maintenance, network troubleshooting, and understanding foundational remote access concepts, as it is still used in some embedded systems, routers, and older infrastructure. Here's our take.

SSH

Nice Pick

Developers should learn SSH for secure remote access to servers, automating deployments, and managing infrastructure in cloud environments

Pros

• It's essential for tasks like accessing Linux/Unix servers, using Git over SSH, and setting up secure tunnels for database connections or web services
• Related to: linux-administration, git

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

Telnet

Developers should learn Telnet for legacy system maintenance, network troubleshooting, and understanding foundational remote access concepts, as it is still used in some embedded systems, routers, and older infrastructure

Pros

• It is valuable for testing network services (e
• Related to: ssh, tcp-ip

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use SSH if: You want it's essential for tasks like accessing linux/unix servers, using git over ssh, and setting up secure tunnels for database connections or web services and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use Telnet if: You prioritize it is valuable for testing network services (e over what SSH offers.

The Bottom Line

SSH wins

Developers should learn SSH for secure remote access to servers, automating deployments, and managing infrastructure in cloud environments
