Re: Secure Telnet Between i5's ?

You're right, I was confusing the two. As my wife
would say, "How could you possibly forget that but
still remember the infield fly rule?"

Thanks,

No, you're confusing TELNET with FTP. There's no
ephemeral ports used
in TELNET... it's just a straight TCP connection on
a port. By default,
that's port 23 for plain-text and port 992 for SSL.


No change to IP address or port is needed during the
run of the
protocol. That's FTP that uses the main port for
commands and ephemeral
ports for data transfer.
