Telnet Client

Posted by Sky36 [send private reply] at September 05, 2001, 04:29:38 PM

Im trying to find a tutorial on writing a simple telnet client. If someone could tell me where I could find one that would be nice oh Language should be C\C++. I've found stuff on writing servers but nothing about clients. Thanx in advance.

try the Beej socket tutorial (search on google), it'll tell you how to do listening sockets and connecting sockets, but it wont tell you how to make a telnet client, but from what it tells you in beej its pretty straight forward from then on if you have a bit of common sense and a will to experiment.

Thanks

I don't think most people would want to spend the time figuring out the telnet protocol by guesswork. Go read the RFC for it.

I dont think he wants the telnet protocol, I think he wants a simple TCP connection telnet without any of the formatting or command codes, just simple stuff like netcat 'telnet'

drdevil is correct. All I needed was the ability to connect to a port and send text and recieve it back. This post was rather useless I suppose a little while after I posted it I found a nice tutorial and got what I wanted working. Thanks for the replys though.
