From: hawat.thufir on 12 Jan 2006 06:16 I want server foo.com and port 6789 and have tried: telnet foo.com -p 6789 (like ssh) telnet foo.com -port 6789 but am having trouble following the man page, which indicates it's -port. I'm able to telnet successfully if there's no port, and ssh, but can't telnet with a port specified. Usage: telnet [-8] [-E] [-K] [-L] [-X atype] [-a] [-d] [-e char] [-k realm] [-l user] [-f/-F] [-n tracefile] [-r] [-x] [host-name [port]] Pardon, reading the manpage isn't helping at the moment. shouldn't it be "telnet foo.com port 6789"? thanks, thufir

"telnet foo.com 6789" should do the trick. -- Maurice

Something in brackets means something that is optional. By "host-name" it means that actual host name, not the words. By "port" it means the actual port, not the word "port". So [host-name [port]] Means you may supply a host name, optionally followed by a port. So it would be: telnet foo.com 6789 DS

I was able to telnet somewhere, so telnet's working. mudconnect, IIRC, showed that the Mud was up and running. I'll give it a try again, and thanks for the explanation to all who replied. -Thufir

The correct syntax is telnet foo.com 6789 If you think you've tried it before, you haven't. Its the correct syntax for either windows or linux. I use it all the time. |
