Telnet is a network protocol used to establish a text-based connection to a remote computer. It allows users to access and control the remote computer’s command line interface. Exiting Telnet properly is essential to avoid leaving the session open and accessible to unauthorized users.
To exit Telnet, users can typically type the “quit” command followed by pressing the Enter key. This command will close the Telnet session and return the user to the local command line interface. Some Telnet clients may also provide a graphical user interface (GUI) with a “Disconnect” or “Exit” button that can be used to close the session.
