How to quit a telnet session (Windows, Linux and Mac Systems)

Question: How do I end a telnet session/window?
This assumes that you’ve started a telnet conection through the Linux command prompt. (you can do so by typing: “telnet address port“)

Answer: To end your current telnet session you must reach the telnet prompt and type quit(or close).
Here are the steps for doing so:

1. Open the telnet prompt by holding down the ‘Ctrl’ key and push the ‘]’ key. (prompt:  Telnet>)

2. Type quit.
3. Push the ‘Enter’ key.

That's all.
