What utility can you use to verify a remote computer is accepting connections on the port you are using?

A
Telnet
💡 Explanation:

Telnet can be used to test connectivity to a specific port on a remote host (e.g., telnet <IP> 80). If the screen goes blank or connects, the port is open. If it fails, the port is closed or blocked. FTP and SNMP are specific application protocols, not general port-testing utilities.
