Telnet from linux machine into windows machine

[colin bell]

Hi there,
need to telnet from linux machine into windows machine ip address 10.0.0.101.
Username is bob - password is john - need to run start.exe then close connection.

Any ideas on best route - no issues with security as not on public network.

Thanks in advance.

You probably need an ssh server on your windows box.

Please do not use telnet. Telnet is not encrypted and the easiest form of remote login to crack. SSH is encrypted and can be hardened to prevent breakins which can happen on private networks. Plus telnet is not officially supported on Windows. SSH is not exactly supported either.

P.S. this is a Linux forum. Please do not ask about other operating systems.
