TELNET The curl telnet support is basic and very easy to use. Curl passes all data passed to it on stdin to the remote server. Connect to a remote telnet server using a command line similar to: curl telnet://remote.server.com And enter the data to pass to the server on stdin. The result will be sent stdout or to the file you specify with -o. You might want the -N/--no-buffer option to switch off the buffered output for slow connections or if the output from the remote site is slow and/or without newlines. NOTE: the telnet protocol does not specify any way to login with a specified user and password and thus curl can't do that automatically. To do that, you need to track when the login prompt is received and send the username and password accordingly.
