Configuring Backspace Key For Your Telnet Session

Depending on the Telnet client, using the <Backspace> key may produce unexpected results. For example, the session may echo ^h. However, most Microsoft and Linux Telnet clients can be configured to use the <Backspace> key.

To configure a Linux Telnet session to use the <Backspace> key, open a command prompt and type stty erase ^h. At the prompt, type telnet.

To configure Microsoft Telnet clients to use the <Backspace> key:

1.Open a command prompt window (if required).

2.If you are not running a Telnet session, type telnet. If you are running a Telnet session, press

<Ctrl><]>.

3.At the prompt, type set bsasdel.

The message Backspace will be sent as delete is displayed.
