Hi Folks, Maybe someone knows how to so this!
Say I'm logged in to a remote host in a telnet session.
At a certain point, I would like to send the contents of a text file to the other end (as if I'd typed them in by hand).
OK, in principle I could do this by opening the file in another xterm, and using the mouse to paste the lines into my telnet session. But in this instance I don't want to do that.
What I'd really like to do is to be able to "break out" of the direct connection between my keyboard and the far end, and issue a local command to squirt said file down the line via the telnet session. And then break back in again.
There doesn't seem to be any method of doing this with normal telnet (as far as I can make out from 'man telnet').
Any suggestions?
(After all, one used to be able to do this kind of thing with kermit, when on dial-up via a serial port!)
With thanks, and best wishes to all, Ted.
