For those of you out there still living in the dark ages, and are still using Telnet because you haven’t found a viable alternative (You know who you are). Maybe you haven’t decided to switch to a more secure solution because you use Windows Servers and Windows hasn’t adopted using SSH. Maybe you think SSH is only for Unix/Linux. Well, your excuses are no longer good here. If you haven’t heard about it, there is an OpenSSH port for Windows. Now you can still use a terminal remote access method, but you won’t be sending your login credentials and important information across the wire in plain text. OpenSSH provides full support for SSH/SCP/SFTP. So no more excuses, download OpenSSH and secure your servers.
As we always say at Asktheadmin.com The Safer the better! If we don’t have to send our credentials as plain text, we are all for it. After all we do know how to use a SNIFFER!

This port is no longer maintained for few years.
I would suggest to try Cygwin port instead.

You can set it up and run it as a service.
