Alternate to Telnet for accessing Cache for Windows Terminal
If there is an alternative to use instead of Telnet due to security reasons in the Cache terminal? Telnet is using a plain text protocol generating security violations. I am using Cache for Windows 2018.1.8.

Maybe web terminal?
Yeah, telnet obviously not recommended, and It's recommended to use SSH instead. Can be configured on Windows as well. Find any realization of SSH server for Windows, and use command to enter into Cache/IRIS using
iris terminal IRIS
or
ccontrol terminal cache
When I use the command "ccontrol terminal cache", the system gives no success of error
the correct syntax
ccontrol [ run OR console OR cterminal ] <instance name>
Runs Caché in programmer mode with
[ no-device OR console OR cterminal ] for $Principal
We have turned off Telnet, and use ssh to connect to our servers, then open a terminal prompt by running...
:>iris session <name space>
There are many different clients out there from Windows Terminal, Cygwin, MobaXTerm, XWin32, even Windows Powershell would work with ssh. It all a matter of preference...
