Here is a short post to check port [TCP/UDP] connectivity from a Linux server. A TCP/IP network connection may be either blocked, dropped, open, or filtered. These actions are generally controlled by the IPtables firewall the system uses and is independent of any process or program that may be listening on a network port.
Telnet and nc are common tools used to test port connectivity from Linux server. Telnet can be used to test tcp port connections, where as nc can be used to test both tcp/udp ports connectivity. Make sure telnet and nc tools are installed on the Linux server you are trying to test connectivity.
Telnet is both a protocol allowing us to access a remote device to control it and the program used to connect through this protocol. The Telnet protocol is the 'cheap' version of ssh, unencrypted, vulnerable to sniffing and Man In the Middle attacks, by default the Telnet port must be closed. Telnet is not available on High Sierra. I don't have the option to copy the telnet source folder from another mac and I'm wondering where/how I can get a legitimate copy of telnet. Edit I'm looking for a copy from a source outside of homebrew or macports.
Testing TCP port connectivity with telnet
Lets see how we can use telnet command to test the TCP port connectivity. The syntax to use the telnet command is as follows:
Example of successful connection:
Example of unsuccessful connection:
Using nc command to test TCP port connectivity
The syntax to use nc command for testing TCP post connectivity is as follows:
Example of successful connection:
Example of unsuccessful connection:
Testing UDP port connectivity wit nc command
The syntax to test UDP port connectivity with nc command is as follows:

The following steps detail how to test a connection to a specific port over a network.
Telnet Port Mac Os X
This could be useful if you're having troubles connecting to a service over the Internet, such as a remote desktop connection or a SMTP server for sending emails.
Telnet Mac Terminal
The steps assume you already have Telnet installed, see Windows 8 – How to install Telnet if you have not or are not sure if it is installed.
Osx Telnet
- Press and hold the Windows button and R on your keyboard to open the Run window
- Enter cmd and then click ‘OK'
- Type the following command, replacing the server address and port number with the details for the service you are trying to connect to (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_TCP_and_UDP_port_numbers if you're unsure which port to test)
- If you see 'Connection timed out', 'Connection reset by host', 'Could not open connection', or 'Connection failed' the connection has failed. This could be because the service is not currently waiting on the specified port, there is a network connection issue or the port has been blocked.
- If the connection is successful you typically see a black window, occasionally some test will be displayed.
