Socket programming Telnet code to connect to a host with userID & password

[mathewfer]

Hi,

Any replies to below.

I built this code and it worked (tested on linux) & I get the login prompt.

Now what I need to do next is to supply username, password & few commands (like unix commands "ls -l", "pwd" etc) via a text file & then display outputs on console as well as log to a text file.

I am comfortable to build console & file handling but I am not sure how to handle interactive prompt with socket programming. I wonder whether we should use recvfrom() and sendto() to check & send these userID, password & commands to host and then check its output.

If someone can please help me with an idea or add first few lines to get/understand this next step logic, I will really appreciate.

Thanks in advance.
