View Full Version : File Upload & Telnet
I am trying to install a shopping cart system on my server (Apache UNIX). The instruction told me to upload the files to the server which are setup.pl, cart-data.tar and the cart.txt. I uploaded the files to my cgi-bin. The next step says to run the install program by telnet to the server and run it by typing "perl setup.pl". How do I telnet and what software do I use. I'm not sure what telnet means. Please help!! I use WS_FTP to upload files.

Telnet is an "internet" program included with all Operating Systems. The Windows help files can help you locate and use telnet on your system.
To use it you'll need to know the IP address, port,password and userid needed to login to your Web server. Your ISP should be able to help you there.

Go to the command prompt and type telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx = the ip address of your web server. After that follow your ISP instructions for accessing your web space.
