How to fix colors of opened file in vi editor ?
I'm using windows computer. My source code is in Linux Server. I telnet to Linux Server.
I invoke command vi filename. File opens but it hard to see the text. Please see attached. Is there way to change color or background color of opened file?

I do agree that having telnet running on the destination is a pretty big security issue. Even on a private WAN/LAN.

>>I would use PuTTY instead.
I use Cygwin with ssh. I've not used PuTTY so I really cannot compare the two. Just throwing it out as an alternative.

>> What telnet product are you using?
How to find out? My computer is running windows 10 Pro. Form windows command prompt, I type telnet and my server name. Then I log into Linux Server.
I'm using telnet because it's available in my workplace.
I'm using vim.

Thank you for good answer and supplementary information.
Are you using vi or vim? You can check that with: ls -l $(which vi)
