Episode 57: Protocols for Remote Access — SSH, Telnet, and RDP

This episode covers remote access protocols, which enable administrators to manage systems from a distance. Telnet, one of the oldest methods, is introduced as insecure due to its plaintext transmission of credentials and data. Secure Shell (SSH) is explained as the secure alternative, encrypting traffic and providing authentication. Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is also covered, showing how it provides graphical access to Windows systems. These protocols are critical exam topics because they combine concepts of management, security, and connectivity.Examples demonstrate when to use each protocol, such as leveraging SSH for Linux servers, RDP for Windows desktop management, and Telnet for legacy devices in isolated environments. Troubleshooting considerations include diagnosing failed authentication, blocked ports, or latency issues that disrupt remote sessions. By understanding these remote access methods, you’ll be prepared to answer exam questions and manage real systems securely and effectively.
