How can you test to see if a specific port on a remote host is listening?

One of the biggest perks of Telnet is with a simple command you can test whether a port is open. Issuing the Telnet command telnet [domainname or ip] [port] will allow you to test connectivity to a remote host on the given port.

Is PID same as port number?

To answer the question directly: there is no connection between the process ID and the port number. They enumerate entirely different things.

We can use the lsof command to find the process using a specific port with the -i :port_number option: The first four columns in the above output tell us the process name listening on port 22 and its PID, owner, and the file descriptor. We can pass multiple -i :port to the lsof command to find out the processes listening on various ports:
