Telnet is actually an old concept that is still used extensively. It enables you to log on to a remote computer and perform various functions. For example, by using Telnet, you can log into your mail account from another machine and carry out different activities such as editing and processing.
For instance, if you are logged on to rahul.net and you want a file on another machine called sanjay.net, you can use a Telnet program to connect from your server to the other one.
