It was bad enough when you removed PPTP from iOS. Īpple, please consider the Pro users when you try to "improve" things. Worse still, I might have to look at moving back to Linux / OpenBSD for my $dayjob. removing telnet/ftp/etc from the OS is going to stop me upgrading One of the things stopping me upgrading to a new MacBook Pro with Touch Bar (at a cost of about $5k) is because it doesn't have an easily accessible escape key (silly I know). I hope they're readying this and re-consider I use it at some point nearly every day diagnosing SMTP connection problems, accessing old Cisco switches / routers on my internal private/secure network, connecting to serial consoles across a local/private network and more.Īs a network engineer it is pretty much an essential tool (as is the escape key on a keyboard and to a lesser extent the function keys)Īpple don't seem to be considering us "technical" users when they make changes. Telnet is an incredibly useful diagnostic and debug tool.
