Overview
The Telnet protocol is used to establish a connection with a
server which provides a virtual terminal session for a user. Its
functionality is similar to how character based consoles and serial
terminals work, enabling a user to login to the server, execute
commands and interact with applications running on the server.
The class provides an interface for establishing the connection,
negotiating certain options (such as whether characters will be
echoed back to the client) and handling the standard I/O functions
needed by the program.
The API also includes functions that enable a program to easily
scan the data stream for specific sequences of characters, making it
very simple to write light-weight client interfaces to applications
running on the server. This library can be combined with the
SocketTools Terminal Emulation API to provide complete terminal
emulation services for a standard ANSI or DEC-VT220 terminal.
This library supports secure connections using the standard SSL
and TLS protocols. To establish a secure connection to the server
using the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol, use the SocketTools Secure
Shell API.
Requirements
The SocketTools Library Edition libraries are compatible with any
programming language which supports calling functions exported from a
standard dynamic link library (DLL). If you are using Visual C++ 6.0
it is required that you have Service Pack 6 (SP6) installed. You should
install all updates for your development tools and have the current
Windows SDK installed. The minimum recommended version of Visual Studio
is Visual Studio 2010.
This library is supported on Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 and
later versions of the desktop and server platforms. If you are using
Windows 7, you must have Service Pack 1 (SP1) installed as a minimum
requirement. It is recommended that you install the current service
pack and all critical updates available for your version of the
operating system.
This product includes both 32-bit and 64-bit libraries. Native
64-bit CPU support requires the 64-bit version of Windows 7 or later
versions of the Windows operating system.
Distribution
When you distribute your application that uses this library, it is
recommended that you install the file in the same folder as your
application executable. If you install the library into a shared
location on the system, it is important that you distribute the
correct version for the target platform and it should be registered
as a shared DLL. This is a standard Windows dynamic link library, not
an ActiveX component, and does not require COM registration.
