The Standard UNIX TELNET Command
Synopsis telnet [host [port]]
Description This command is used to communicate with another host using the TELNET
protocol. When the command telnet is invoked with host or port arguments, a connection is
opened to the host, and input is sent from the user to the host.
Options and Parameters The command telnet operates in character-at-a-time or
line-by-line mode. In line-by-line mode, typed text is echoed to the screen. When the line is
completed (by pressing the
Enter key), the text line is sent to host. In character-at-a-time
mode, text is echoed to the screen and sent to host as it is typed. At the UNIX prompt, type
man telnet to view the options and parameters available with the telnet command.
