Guest Alice Wei Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Hi, I am trying to execute some remote scripts through telnet, and I did U:> http://www.mysite.com/calculate.php This doesn't work though. This is what it brought back: 'http' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I then tried to telnet it, and then found out that it brought back Could not open connection to the host, on post 23: Connect failed. I had both servers, the local and the remote with port 23 opened on TCP. Could there be anything I missed? Thanks in advance.

So there's no telnet server there, evidently. What are you trying to do? I'd guess you're trying to execute whatever is at http://www.mysite.com/calculate.php, but wouldn't that be a server-side script that results in a web page? You'd need to send an HTTP request to invoke it, and you'd need an HTML renderer to see the result. That's exactly what a web browser does. > > I had both servers, the local and the remote with port 23 opened on TCP. I don't understand. Local and remote? You seem to be looking for a server at http://www.mysite.com. Your results indicate there's no telnet server there (no surprise), and the full URL indicates that you need to use hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP). -- Tim Slattery MS MVP(Shell/User) Slattery_T@bls.gov http://members.cox.net/slatteryt
