No telnet or ssh

[steveM]

"but there's a hole in the bucket"!!!!

I've got the telnetd file on my laptop, now I need ftp to get it across to the pi!!

Can I just copy it across onto the SD card plugged into the laptop and maneuver it from there once the card is back in the Pi?

[RaTTuS]

copy it via ssh ;-p
or winscp

or put it on the sd card [if it will fit] then plug it into the RPi

I moved the file "openbsd-inetd_0.20091229-2_armhf.deb" to /var/cache/apt/archives and ran the script apt-get install telnetd

I got the same results as before, the script ran off to find the Raspberry web server which of course it can't do and the install failed.

How do I run apt-get so it installs from the archive not the web?

[DougieLawson]

Putty is just so complicated, no put or get commands and it's yet another application to install and learn. Why would you want to use it?

Eh?

I don't know what you mean by "put or get commands".

PuTTY is simple and comes with pscp and psftp for file transfer. If you don't like that install filezilla which can use sshd.
You can even start PuTTY from a command window with putty 192.168.3.14 and it uses default settings.

I did some digging around on the forum and found the following command which resulted in this:

The programs included with the Debian GNU/Linux system are free software;

-bash: telnet: command not found

Unsure as to whether or not telnet is running I ran the following:

Whatever this means telnet is still not working.

You haven't installed telnetd yet, although you have installed openbsd-inetd which it requires.

You should have also fetched and installed http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/rasp ... _armhf.deb for the server or http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/rasp ... _armhf.deb for the client.

[steveM]

This is a nightmare.

When I ran the earlier command --print -uris it only bought up the one file I mentioned.

Where did the other 2 come from?

[rpdom]

Odd... when I try apt-get --print-uris install telnetd I get

File versions may be different as I am running Jessie/testing on that Pi, but the output should be similar. Four files in total.

[steveM]

WOO! HOO! Got it.

Man that took some doing, thanks for everyones help.

I think I shall write this up as a little help guide or simple How To.

Telnet and FTP rock!!

Once again thank you all.

Steve

[rpdom]

Telnet and FTP rock!!

Yes, they are from the Stone Age

Glad you got it sorted out

[steveM]

"Yes, they are from the Stone Age "

Oh touche!

Some Background:
I too am having trouble using telnet or ssh to my Raspberry Pi which is on a static ip given by my router... The webserver portion connects, so I know it's not a network IP issue.

I'm also familiar with both Putty and even have installed the windows feature for Telnet, but nothing doing.

My Workaround
I installed "Ubuntu" from the Windows Store. then from there I telnet to the ip directly... works like a charm. And Ubuntu is a colourized shell with much more compatibility to raspberry's implementation of debian.

The reason why this works?
No idea. I don't know why I can connect from linux (on windows) to linux, but not windows to linux. This has only happened to me with the pi. Frankly seems a bit bogus.
