Don't use telnet -- it sends your password and all data in clear text
across the network. Any idiot with a packet sniffer will know
everything you transmit. Instead use ssh. 'apt-get install ssh' on
the server, and get a client for the client (same package if it is a
Debian box, PuTTY is a good win32 client). It should work
out-of-the-box like that.
