Hi all, I want to automatically open a telnet session through a batch script. The user name and password should also be automatically supplied by the batch script. After opening the telnet session it should execute a set of commands on the telnet server and the output should be logged into a file on the client(from where the telnet session is invoked). I have tried using a batch script but it opens a telnet window. This is not my objective. I hope there should be some way by which we can suppres the telnet command/run it in the background. This is very urgent for me and my expertise in batch programming is novice. Regards, Sridhar.

Maybe it doesnt work for what you are trying, but I would suggest - create a file with the answers he asks when starting the program - use reverse redirection ex. create the file input.log: ======================================== user pass bin mget file.ext quit ========================================= in the batch script: telnet server < input.log

I tried the code suggested...it still doesn't work..so how?

I have also gotten the same urgent problem for my application. Is there somebody can help? Thanks Daniel

I tried too. It didn't help. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank You
