What is the advantage of using SSH over Telnet?

  • SSH is easier to use.
  • SSH operates faster than Telnet.
  • SSH provides secure communications to access hosts.
  • SSH supports authentication for a connection request.

Explanation: SSH provides a secure method for remote access to hosts by encrypting network traffic between the SSH client and remote hosts. Although both Telnet and SSH request authentication before a connection is established, Telnet does not support encryption of login credentials.
