About telnet
Uses the telnet
protocol to connect to another remote computer.
Syntax
telnet [-8] [-E] [-L] [-c] [-d] [-r] [ -e escape_char ] [ -l user ] [-n file ] [ host [ port ] ]
| -8 |
Specifies an 8-bit data path. Negotiating the
TELNET BINARY option is attempted for both input and output. |
| -E |
Stops any character from being recognized as an escape character. |
| -L |
Specifies an 8-bit data path on output. This causes the BINARY option to be negotiated on
output. |
| -c |
Disables the reading of the user's telnetrc file. |
| -d |
Sets the initial value of the debug toggle to
TRUE. |
| -r |
Specifies a user interface similar to rlogin . In this mode, the escape character is set to the
tilde (~) character, unless modified by the -e option. The rlogin escape character is only recognized when it is preceded by a carriage return. In this mode, the telnet escape
character, normally '^]', must still precede a telnet command. The rlogin escape character
can also be followed by '.\r' or '^Z', and, like rlogin, closes or suspends the connection, respectively. This option is an uncommitted inter- face and may change in the future. |
| -e escape_char |
Sets the initial escape character to
escape_char. escape_char may also be a two character sequence
consisting of '^' followed by one character. If the second character is '?', the DEL character is selected. Otherwise, the second character is
converted to a control character and used as the escape character. If the escape character is the null string (that is, -e ''), it is disabled. |
| -l user |
When connecting to a remote system that
understands the ENVIRON option, then user will be sent to the remote system as the value for the ENVIRON variable USER. |
| -n file |
Opens tracefile for recording trace information. |
Examples
telnet host.com - Would open a telnet session
to the domain host.com
