Is it possible to use tunneling to connect to a ssh server via telnet? I'm using an API that can only telnet to a host, but that host will only accept ssh connections. If it is possible, what do I need to do to set that up?

A: 

i think what would work would be to run a telnet server on a local port on the host and use ssh to forward that locally where the api could connect to it; but that's just a bit silly

A: 

Use netcat and ssh

$ nc -l -p 12345 -c "ssh [email protected]"

make sure that you have RSA auth setup, since you cannot enter a password.
