Using TELNET on Other Ports

If you request a connection to a port that does not have a TELNET server, TELNET does not negotiate
with the remote system. TELNET does, however, provides a mechanism for connecting to a remote
server for data transfer. For example, assume that you try to establish a TELNET connection to a
host system named offc412 on port number 21, which is usually the well-known port for the FTP
server. The result is:

TACL 4> telnet offc412 21
Trying... Connected to offc412
Escape is ''
