Hi I am trying to understand network command like ssh and telnet. Unfortunately I dont have any other system besides my own so I am testing with localhost only. while i am able to do ssh locally when I am trying to do telnet locally I am getting this error

Command I am trying is telnet localhost, I am not entering any port no.

Trying 127.0.0.1…

telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused

Trying fe80::1…

telnet: connect to address fe80::1: Connection refused

telnet: Unable to connect to remote host

If I am able to do ssh locally, same should apply for telnet as well right?

    Apparently you don’t have telnet server running locally, at your machine.

    To have a look how telnet command works, you could do next:

    telnet debra.dgbt.doc.ca

    telnet example.com 80
