Telnet service by default is off, for a good reason. It's not secure. SSH is
just as easy. All you need to do is make sure it's on for both machine. Run
the following (as root):
service sshd start
Then, to make sure it's always on after boot:
chkconfig sshd on
Now you can do:
ssh username@host1
There's also scp to securely copy files which might be useful gor you (do 'man
scp') as part of the ssh package.
