How to create a log of a Windows telnet session.

Question:

How to create a log of a Windows telnet session.

Answer:

Microsoft Windows 3.11, 95, 98, ME users

In the telnet window click Terminal drop down and select the option Start Logging. This will open a new window on where you can save the log. Once the log location has been specified logging is enabled.

Other Windows users

With the default telnet client included with other Microsoft Windows users such as Windows 2000 and Windows XP users this program does not have the ability to log a telnet session. If you need a telnet client with these capabilities it is recommended you download a third-party program such as CRT listed in our software download section.
