Mac High Sierra – Telnet and FTP Missing?
KB ID 0001364 Problem Why have Apple removed Telnet and FTP, yes they are old, yes they are insecure. For remote management you should be using SSH and for file transfers you should be using SFTP or FTPS. However what if I want to telnet to a mail server on port 25 and test email flow? What if I need to connect to a Cisco switch that does not have a K9 operating system, and only supports Telnet? -bash: telnet: command not found...
