Whats your favorite Telnet program and why?

 

[KarVi]

Putty.

Because its simple ,easy to use, but still very versatile and with many configuration options.

SecureCRT (www.vandyke.com) it's not free, but it's not too expensive, it does SSH, Telnet, and serial console. Plenty of options for emulation, scripting, it always works...there's nothing about the program I don't like. I've been using it for years.

If you're sure you don't need SSH, then they have a version called "CRT" that is just Telnet and serial port.

Good Luck

telnet.exe because it comes with windows. Since telnet is command line based to begin with, your telnet program doesn't need a GUI.

PuTTy right now because it's a simple SSH client.

Does SecureCRT do X tunneling via SSH?

telnet.exe because it comes with windows. Since telnet is command line based to begin with, your telnet program doesn't need a GUI.

it's there but it's terrible, have you ever tried using an ncurses app or vi in it?

i know....that things sucks, especially in VI.

Yeah, SecureCRT does SSH tunneling....it's apparently part of the whole SSH thing. I've never seen an SSH-capable program that DOESN"T do tunneling (doesn't mean it hasn't happened, I just haven't seen it).

FWIW

I don't like the telnet program that comes with Win XP. It has some basic advantages, but not being able to save the servers that you log onto just pisses me off.

A pretty good free one that I use to connect to our Alpha's at work is Tera Term Pro . It has built in VT320 support, which many others don't. We use Reflections at work which is pretty robust.

 

[Elledan]

PuTTy. Because it has everything one needs.

 

[DocDoo]

Depends what you are telnetting into.

For routers ------> CCTerm is my favorite.
