Title: Help making a bat file to telnet into a server.
Post by: Brad on November 11, 2004, 07:37:29 AM

Hi I am new at this and I just want to know how to set up a .bat file that will open a telnet session, logon with user name and password. Then at the prompt I would like to exacute the following command trackinv. this is an exe file. Once this file has run I would like to copy the saved date from the server directory to my local pc.

Is there any way to do this with a bat file and could you please give me the command lines to use.

 I think Putty will do it easily.  Putty is a freeware and very powerful Telnet client.

If you read all the instructions about how to use automated logins/passwords and scripts with Putty and still need help let me know?  -  Joe
