Telnet Service

Troubleshooting Telnet

The Telnet server

cannot run an

application

The Telnet client successfully established a Telnet connection and logs

on to the host system. But, when the user runs the application, the

software behaves oddly or it produces error messages. If you receive a

call about this problem, you or the user can consult the Asynchronous

Serial Communications Programmer’s Reference Manual to see if the

application is attempting to use ﬁle system instrinsics that the Telnet

server doesn’t support. Or have the user and his or her system manager

check the set and toggle values on their system to make sure they are

the values required by the application.

Invalid command The Telnet client user entered an invalid command at the Telnet

prompt. Type a question mark (?) to display a list of valid commands.
