Telnet
access is used to accomplish
more complex tasks in Unix and Unix knowledge is required. We have
built our system so that most of the tasks can be completed without
using Telnet, but in some cases for advanced web development or
Unix usage, it will be required. If you need to use Telnet and are
not familiar with it, take your time to read through some of the
widely-available Unix documentation on the Web.
Please note that we strongly encourage the use of SSH instead of
Telnet, to ensure that your login to the server remains secure.
Also, if using SSH, we suggest that you "tunnel" your FTP connections
to the server via SSH.
If you are downloading and using SSH, make sure to select SSH 2
and not SSH 1
F-Secure
- SecureCRT
To connect
using telnet, just connect to yourdomain.com.au using your standard
login and password.
Some basic
Telnet commands you should be aware of:
mkdir
mkdir
will make a new directory.
The command:
mkdir somedir
will make a new directory somedir as long as you have
write access in the current directory.
rm
rm
will remove a file.
The command:
rm test.html
will remove the file test.html
rmdir
rmdir
will remove a directory as long as it is empty.
Example:
rmdir test_dir
will remove the directory test_dir
man
man
will display the manual page for a given command.
For instance:
man ls
will give you the manual page for the command ls. You
can use it to learn a lot of advanced information about a command.
You'll also learn a lot of good options for the commands you
use.
ls
will give a simple listing of all files and directories within
your current directory.
ls -al
will give a complete listing of all files and directories within
your current directory.
