telnet from c application using libcurl ??

[Jake]

Hi,

I am trying to make an application in C which must establish a telnet
session
with a remote server, execute some scripts on the remote server and close
down
the telnet session.

I have had a look at libcurl since it supports several protocols, but I
haven't been
able to figure out if I can use libcurl for the purpose described above.

Any suggestions to what I could do?

The application must be programmed in C and the telnet session has to be
controlled from the same C-application.

Cheers...

You will get better answers if you post in a group that discusses
whatever system you are targeting (e.g. comp.unix.progr ammer if you
want a POSIX solution). I don't know here to go for help specific to
libcurl.

Standard C (the topic here) has no mechanism to do this.

Yes. First, limit your line lengths to 72 chars (but 67 is
better). I corrected your post above. Second, post your query on
a newsgroup where it is topical. telnet protocols, libcurl, etc.
are not topical on c.l.c, where the topic is standard C, as
described in K&R or the ISO standards.

F'ups set.

Please do not use things like "F'ups". It could mean anything. If you do
not speak English people will have problems understanding you. I believe
you lecture people about that on a regular basis.
