TELNET

TELNET (1)

WONT

inform the remote server that you will stop performing the option

The following options can be negotiated:

binary transmit in binary (raw) mode

echo remote echo (input is echoed by the remote server)

exopl extended options list (negotiate from the extended options list)

status display option status (display options currently in effect)

tm timing mark (send a timing mark)

Options can be abbreviated to the shortest unique sequence. No options are defined on the extended options list at this time. Note that the sga (suppress go ahead) option can no longer be negotiated. This option will still be recognized and processed correctly by the telnet daemon to support communications with older implementations, however.

open [-ec][-8]host [port]

Open a connection to the named host. The -eoption will select an alternate escape character for the session. The -8option will enable eight-bit mode for the session. Host can be either a host name or Internet address (see hosts(4)). Port can be either a service name or number (see services(4)). If no port number is specified, telnet will attempt to contact the server at the default port.

options

Toggle viewing of TELNET options processing. When disabled (default), options negotiation is conducted silently. When enabled, options negotiation will be displayed. Options sent by the local server are labelled SENT; options received from the remote server are labelled RCVD.

quit Close the open TELNET connection, if there is one, and exit to the local shell.

status Show the current status of the telnet connection, modes, and options.

transnvt [command]

Send Network Virtual Terminal (NVT) commands to the remote server over an open connection. The NVT commands help to preserve such functions as abort output, interrupt, and break, which may be invoked by different keystrokes on the local and remote hosts. When command is speci- fied, telnet will send that NVT command and return to the command or input mode prompt.

When command is omitted, telnet will enter transnvt mode, as indicated by the transnvt> prompt. To send an NVT command in this mode, enter command at the prompt. To return to command or input mode from transnvt mode, enter a carriage return at the transnvt> prompt.
