Telnet should work fine. Localhost maybe should work, but not necessarily. Depends on how the host has your permissions installed in their server. Try -h domain.com, or just leave it out altogether. In fact try leaving the -u off, maybe your login name is enough. Only your host admin knows for sure. Ask if they have a FAQ page with the promise that if they do you'll never have to ask them another question again. LOL!
