telnet – log in to remote host

[-ec] [-8] [host [port]]

Telnet is used to communicate with another host using the TELNET protocol.
When invoked without the host and port arguments, telnet enters command mode,
as indicated by its prompt (telnet

>

).  In this mode, it accepts and executes the com-

mands discussed below.

When invoked with a host [and port], telnet performs an open command with those
arguments. The host can be either the host name or its Internet address.  The port
can be either the service number or its name (see services(4)). If port is not speci-
fied, telnet will attempt to contact the server at the default port.  Once a connection
has been opened, telnet enters input mode.  In this mode, all text entered from the
keyboard is sent to the remote host for processing.

To enter command mode from input mode, enter the telnet escape character.  To
return to input mode, enter a carriage return at the telnet

>

prompt.  To execute a

single command from input mode, and return automatically to input mode, enter
the telnet command preceded by the escape character (for example, ˜linemode).
The default escape character is the tilde (˜). Use the -e command line option or the
escape

command to change the escape character for a telnet session.

The -8 option enables the transmission of 8-bit data to facilitate communication
with hosts using an 8-bit character set such as the Asian or European character set.
If this option is not used, parity bits are stripped from the data.

Logging out of the shell on the remote host will terminate the telnet connection,
returning you to the local shell if the connection was opened from the telnet com-
mand line or to the telnet

>

prompt if the connection was opened from command

mode.  This can also be accomplished with the close command. The quit com-
mand will terminate both the open connection and the telnet session, always
returning you to the local shell.

The following commands are recognized by the telnet command interpreter.  They
may be abbreviated, so long as they remain unique.  The normal terminal editing
conventions are available in command mode.

Close an open telnet connection, returning to the telnet

>

prompt (command

mode) or to the local shell (input mode).

Toggle carriage return mode.  When disabled (default), no translation of
carriage-return characters takes place.  When enabled, a carriage-return
received from the remote host will be mapped into a carriage return and a
line feed.  This mode does not affect characters typed by the user, only
those received.  This mode is required by hosts that prefer the user to do
local echoing.
