Thread: Java telnet session

Good day,

Please help as i am trying to create a java telnet session, however what is the correct jar file to download for this, i am trying to use
"org.apache.commons.net.telnet.TelnetClient" but my TelnetSession does not know of this and therefor giving an error.

For additional information please see the rest of my code below.

[Code=JAVA]

public class EasyTelnet extends javax.swing.JFrame {
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
import org.apache.commons.net.telnet.TelnetClient;

It seems that your [code] wrapping tags in your post above are a bit off such that they didn't take effect on your code...

A search on the Internet using the search term "org.apache.commons.net.telnet.TelnetClient" shows that it's in the Apache Commons Net library. That's where you can get the jar file. Remember to add the jar file to the classpath.

Thank you Jashburn for the information, Sorry about the Wrappings. I will apply what you have suggested

Thanks
