any reason you cannot use remote desktop? – stijn Oct 17 '10 at 8:49
@stijn: 1. I have not ever use it; 2. I have no enough bandwith; 3. I prefer shell than desktop environment. – Jichao Oct 17 '10 at 9:18

You could enable the Telnet server in Windows, but as Telnet is generally insecure, I wouldn't recommend it. However, you could set up an SSH server using Cygwin that would allow you to remotely connect to a Windows 7 computer via SSH (Secure Shell). Lifehacker has a fairly straightforward guide on just that.

I highly recommend OpenSSH for Windows. Telnet is NOT the way to go as it is very insecure as you pointed out, SSH uses encryption. – qroberts Jun 29 '11 at 13:19

Windows remote management and remote shell are built-in:
