Hello, I'd like to use telnet and connect to another Windows server; yes TELNET Server is installed on the target server. Here is my task: <target name="connect-by-telnet"> <telnet server="BIGBIRD" userid="bert" password="ernie"> <read>$</read> <write>dir > test.txt</write> <read>$</read> </telnet> </target>
And here is my output: D:\User1>C:\apache-ant-1.7.1\bin\ant -buildfile install-deploy.xml Buildfile: install-deploy.xml main: connect-by-telnet: [telnet] Welcome to Microsoft Telnet Service [telnet] [telnet] [telnet] login: [telnet] bert [telnet] bert [telnet] [telnet] password: (and it just hangs) First question = should i login manually to know what my promt will look like, so i can use it in "<read>$</read>" statement? Should it look like "<read>C:\Documents and Settings\Bert></read>" instead? Second question = why is i hanging? I just want to connect, do a DIR and output to a txt file, and then quit. Thank you in advance.
