For what's worth.. Telnet sends login and password in clear text. I've not used or suggested using telnet for some time. Instead I'd opt for ssh, you can define a trust that allows connections without passing the password.

This web site has a good tutorial on how to define it.

With SSH you can SCP (Secure copy from system to system) or remotely execute commands

such as scripts on the target system:
sudo -u remoteuser ssh remoteuser@host.domain.tld '/usr/local/bin/shellscript.sh'

Much more robust and best is it is secure.
