C++/Telnet/Linux

Good day,

I will be creating a telnet application in C++ to be deployed in Linux. I created POC about it if it is possible in C++. The reason why I needed to create a telnet application is because I will be connecting to a server, run some commands there and get all the files generated by the commands.

I tried running it using system() to no avail. For some reason I could not read/get the output of the telnet so that I can input my username and password. If anyone has any idea on how to do this please help.

Have you tried using ssh instead?

You'll need to use some shell scripting to get it to work. Off the top of my head you'll need to use linux pipes and then fork() and exec() your program.
