Telnet

[Livewire]

Does any one know if there is a command in telnet to list the possible commands? I thought it was help but I was incorrect.

It depends on the sever that your connected to... sometimes "help" will return a list of commands, sometimes not... try "/?" or it could be "\?" not sure, thats the command you put after a command to findout what it does... ex. "connect/?" might return something like, "connects user to server" or something like that...some servers won't give you a list at all, but if "help" doesn't work, then start trying other stuff if possible, If you don't know the commands, then you probably shouldn't be in there anyway...

I was using it as a diagnostic tool to check email on a server so I know the basic commands such as user, pass, list, stat, etc.
I was just wondering if there were some more advanced commands that would make things easier. Thanks for the reply.

Thanks Socalgal,
I was wondering if I could still count on this board for good info. Apparently so!
