Getting past a protocol mismatch after a Telnet connection

Question

This is what shows up: ssh-2.0-OpenSSH_6.2

I am not entirely sure what this means. It occurs when I am trying to remotely connect to my mac from a different windows computer using telnet. What does it mean and what do I do to get past it? Do I type the password of the computer? I only get to type one line before it says

"Protocol mismatch.

Connection to host lost."

Answer 1

You seem to be connecting to a ssh port by telnet. They are different protocols. try

ssh [HOST]

instead of

telnet [HOST] 22
