Windows 7 Telnet installation method

Win series operating system is the most widely spread, then to the version of Win7, subverted a lot of content, in some settings have also changed. Then we will briefly explain the startup and setup of Win 7 Telnet. Let us first look at the following question.

Win 7 Telnet Startup

Telnet is a common remote login and management tool for system administrators. It is integrated into the system as a standard system component in Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista systems. For users to use. However, by default, the Telnet service is forbidden. Normally, we only need to run services.msc to open the service management. Find the Telnet service item and set its startup type to "manual" or "automatic", and then start the service and use it. However, in Windows 7, you can't find and enable the Telnet service as described above. So how to get back Win 7 Telnet function?

1, hidden reason

In fact, Telnet can not be found in the service manager is not Win7 abandoned Telnet, but the default state of Win7 The Telnet service is not installed. This is the first time Microsoft has removed Telnet from the personal system out of the system default components, similar to Windows Server 2008. I think Microsoft should do this for security reasons. After all, Telnet data is transmitted in clear text, and attackers and easily get sensitive information through sniffing. Based on security considerations, it is recommended that you use a more secure, encrypted SSH remote management method.

2, install Telnet

However, we do not need to squander food, as a personal user Telnet is still very convenient. Installing Win 7 Telnet is slightly different from Windows Server 2008. You can do this by using the following methods. Click "Start" → "Control Panel" → "Programs", "In Programs and Features" find and click "Turn Windows features on or off" to enter the Windows Function Settings dialog box. Find and check the "Telnet client" and "Telnet server", and finally "OK" to complete the installation in a few moments. In addition, we can also install "TFTP Client", "Internet Information Service", etc. through this wizard.

After the installation is complete, the Telnet service is disabled by default. Also need to perform "Start" → "Run", enter servcIEs.msc to open the service manager. Find and double-click the Telnet service item, set its startup mode to "manual" (more secure, only enable when needed), and finally "start" the service "OK" to exit.
