I need a full list of telnet commands with a detailed explanation of there function.

I seached a few times but it only came back with shit.

Telnet dosn't have a set of commands per se, telnet just allows you to connect to a host computer.

If the host computer dumps you a its *nix prompt, you will neex *nix commands, if it dumps you at a dos prompt you will need dos commands, if it gives you a menu system, you need to follow that system.

or you could be talking about initiation commands, in that case just ignore everything i said.

root@Mephisto:~# man telnet

easy as one two three.

but you shouldnt use root as your every day profile it should be used as only a administrator profile and if you really need it how hard is it to open a shell and type su root-primo

also he could be on a windoze box mabey even ME *snickers* *full on laughs* *ME ha ha*

Telnet is simply a medium used to connect to something. The question you are asking is like asking what commands can i make with my keyboard, then answer is any command you can program.

If you want to learn about telnet and how it works, try the telnet man page by typing "man telnet" in a unix prompt, or by looking at the web.

I think its a miss directed question.

As everyone has been saying telnet is a protocal a means of doing something. In this case opening up a shell on a forgein host. Depending on the host will be a seperate set of commands. Most likely you will be connecting to some kind of *nix system. The typical command paths are: /bin/ and /usr/bin/. Using the list command (ls) on these directories will yeild you the commands. For most commands a manual should exist for them just type:

man command_name_goes_here

to pull up the manual. Also you can try

command --help

And last but not least you could always web search.

Yes telnet does have its own commands q lot of people dont relize this.

[steve@chemhead steve]$ telnet

telnet is a protocol. that particular unix implementation that you display "the creator" has commands but not all implementations do have commands, at least not those exact commands. telnet program commands are not a standard thing like the protocol level implementation of telnet.

But you do bring up a good point that everyone else pretty much missed, including myself.

what we need to know from Viper is what commands is he looking for? To do what? That would solve his problem better than just telling each other all about telnet.

So viper, what are you really looking for?

Sorry guys I made a few mistakes in the post. I got what In needed now.

--=Viper=--

and plus there is a difference between the telnet protocal and a program called telnet. Any program can implement the telnet protocal if they liked and not be called 'telnet' thus we have to assume when someone says telnet they mean the protocal.

this a side your point is valid that he could have meant what are some commands for the telnet program.

But i guess its viper's fault for asking a vauge question.

I already apoligised once what do you want?
