help

Use the help command to display either a summary of all TELNET commands or information about
a specific command.

help [ command-name ]

command-name

specifies the name of the command you want described.

Examples

To request information about the open command, enter the following command:

telnet> ? open
connect to a site

See the ? command for more examples.

mode

Use the mode command to specify the input mode you want to use.

mode { c[haracter] | l[ine] }

c[haracter] | l[ine]

specifies the type of input.

In character mode, TELNET immediately sends each character you type to the remote system.
In line mode, the text you type is echoed locally and sent to the remote host when you press
the RETURN key.

TELNET enters the mode you specify only if the remote host is capable of entering that mode.

By default, the mode is character.

Example

To change to line mode, enter the following command:

telnet> mode l

open

Use the open command to establish a connection to a remote system.

open host [ port ]

host

is a host name or host address identifying the remote system. For information about specifying
host names and addresses, see Addressing Remote Hosts on page 1-5, in Section 1, Introduction
to TCP/IP Applications and Utilities.

port

specifies the number of a port on the remote system that you want TELNET to contact. If you
omit port, TELNET attempts to contact a TELNET server at the default (well-known) port, which
is 23.

If you connect to a non-TELNET port, TELNET connects to a remote server on the port and allows
you to transfer data. For more information on how to connect to non-default ports, see

“Using

TELNET on Other Ports” (page 132)
