FTP and Telnet are similar in that they are defined as OSI layer 7 (application) protocols.

They are different in that they use different ports for sending and receiving messages and are used for different purposes. FTP is used to sending and receiving files across a network. Telnet is used to send commands remotely to another network device.

Is a secure replacement for Telnet?

A secure replacement for Telnet is SSH (Secure Shell). Unlike Telnet, which transmits data in plain text, SSH encrypts the communication between the client and server, providing confidentiality and integrity. This makes SSH a preferred choice for secure remote access and management of systems over an unsecured network. Additionally, SSH offers features like secure file transfer and tunneling, enhancing its capabilities beyond what Telnet provides.
