Telnet with file output on the client - is this possible?
I can telnet to my router and enter commands.
I would like to be able to redirect output back to my desktop - is this possible?

The client is Ubuntu , so anything (almost) is possible 
I've tried looking at curl - but it doesn't appear to be understandable!

Thanks chilly!
I never think to use tee
That's going into my "fave-commands" file.

Quote from: MrC Which OS is the telnet client running on?
(Doh, just realised what forum this is
)Other suggestions from chillypenguin's tee (which is the simplest) are screen or kermit, both of which can capture all output, eg :-
# screen -L telnet <router-name or IP>
will give you a file screenlog.0 with the contents of your session. Screen will do a lot more than this - see the man page or Google for the full gory details

Emacs is too hard for me!
vi 
gedit or nano
It's vi or die I'm afraid
Emacs is just evil.

As long as we're talking vim and not classic vi - can't live without those split windows

No arguing there. It belongs in the same pile of ordure as info.

Yeah fair enough. I do really use vim rather than vi. Split windows, key mapping, syntax highlighting and all that good stuff. If you're feeling particularly masochistic, then try vi on solaris
It's a bit stricter than most default linux versions I've used.
