Telnet Client

A telnet client supporting VT100 ternimal with a tabbed window interface.

Click here to see a demo. (Flash Player 8.5 Beta 2 Required)

In fact, as you might notice, You CANNOT access a telnet server with the demo above. This is because the demo doesn't have a socket access permission. In other words, your flash player doesn't allow the demo to access any servers for security reasons. To give a socket access permission to the Flex Telnet, plz follow the instruction below.

Instruction for giving a socket access permission to Flex Telnet

1. To use Socket capabilities, you must have the SWF file on your local machine so you need to Download this Flex Telnet zip file and unzip into a directory. (FlexTelnet.swf, FlexTelnet.html, AC_OETags.js and history.js will be extracted.)
2. Click here to open Global Security Setting.
   • You will see this panel.
     
3. Click the arrow button of "Edit location" select box.
   • Then, you will see "Add location..." in the select box like below.
     
4. Click the "Add location..." in the select box.
   • Then, a new window would be popped up as follows.
     
5. Click the "Browse for files..." button.
   • A file chooser window would be popped up so you can now choose the FlexTelnet.swf file which is extracted at the 1st step.
6. Click the "Confirm" button.
   • Once you click the Confirm button. A socket access permission has been given to the FlexTelnet.swf file you chose. Now, you can see the FlexTelnet.html with your browser to use Flex Telnet. That's it ! Enjoy !!

Manual

1. Tab Window
   • You can switch the window by clicking these tabs.
2. Control Mini Keyboard
   • Since a browser(IE) intercepts some of "Ctrl + key", flash player cannot get those key events.
     To workaround this problem, I've added this mini keyboard. (In the picture above, you can see ESC & TAB buttons but they're gone in the current version of FlexTelnet. Thank you a lot, James !)
3. History Button
   • A new window will be popped up and displays text which has already been scrolled out in the selected tab window.
4. Close Button
   • Close the selected tab window. (Please exit from server before clicking this button. Otherwise, the connection would be forced to be disconnected.)
5. Host & Port Text Input
   • Specify server you want to connect.
     ex) 192.168.1.3, 192.168.1.3:23, telnet.myhost.com, telnet.myhost.com:23
     (The telnet default port (23) would be used by omitting the port number.)
6. Connect Button
   • Connect to the server specified in Host & Port Text Input.
