Hello All,

I'm not that good with networking, however I heard that PuTTY is a good download for Telnet operations.

I've downloaded PuTTY and am using it. I don't know how or what any of it means.

E.g.

I seem to have made a connection to the localhost(127.0.0.1) and a strange window opens. It is a command-line, it has a thick green cursor that does not blink. I don't know any Telnet commands at all.

Obviously help is needed.

Well, i think Putty is a command line tool and you will have to learn some basic commands.

Such as? Are there some examples anyone can provide?

As far as i am concened i don't believe that putty have a command line interface... I mean that it is a tool to connect via ssh or telnet to other machines... So you have to be able to know the ip of the other machine and the port in which it's accepted links... Usually you need a username and a password to have access to the foreign machine...After that you are connected and you are using the os of the remoted machines whatever it is (linux, unix, freebsd, etc...).

For Example. I use putty from windows os in order to connect to a server via ssh which it has freeBSD so via putty I use freebsd commands. I hope it helps :)

dreamcatcher has the answer ,

[hetra]

So the syntax depends on what protocol in use?

[Dreamcatcher]

It depends on the O.S. of the remoted machine( to which you are connected)
