Telnet and Ditto

QNX Newsgroups (Archives) comp.os.qnx
#1

I usually control one qnx box (node 1) using ditto from another (node 2)
because node 1 isn’t running a telnet server. I do this by typing the
following on node 2:

ditto -k //1/dev/con1

Now I’d like to be able to do the same thing while working from Windows
NT. I figured I could telnet to node 2 and execute the ditto command
like normal. But, weird stuff happens. Sometimes the text is garbled,
sometimes it wraps onto itself, and sometimes it’s perfectly fine. I’m
using the telnet client that comes with NT, but maybe I’m not
configuring it correctly. Anyone have experience with this?

Carl.

You might have better luck with a Telnet client that actually supports
QNX terminal emulation:

I would definitely go with Kermit 95.
I telnet into my Qnx box all day using K95 and use ditto.
