No Telnet???

[richardtheboffin]

I want to telnet from my PI to another device, how do I do it?

telnet doesn't appear to be there. I just get "command not found"

I tried ssh'ing to the other device but I'm gertting connection refused...

I'm mising something obvious here!

Do a search for SSH on the forum, and check the wiki. There are instructions for having SSH start on boot using a simple copy of a file in the boot sector. Which I cannot remember right now...
Use SSH rather than telnet, more secure.

He's asking about telnetting from Pi, so ssh is likely no use.
Not tested, but I'd try:
sudo apt-get install telnet

then telnet should be available.

[jamesh]

Well, he did say he had tried SSH and that didn't work either..!

[richardtheboffin]

Tried apt-get install telnet and it did appear to get the package, but still nothing when I telnet.

I tried restarting xinetd services too.

Do you get the same command not found error, or is telnet not connecting?

[jamesh]

Also, can you ping to and from the Raspi?

[richardtheboffin]

Got in now.

Did another apt-get and it's here now.

Must have failed last time and I didn't notice!

Thanks for your help chaps.

All working now.

Telnet'ed into a Digital Picture frame from PI, which I've loaded linux onto (the picture frame that is!).

I was looking at using the photo frame as a simple screen for the Pi.

It's connected via usb and appears as an ethernet gadget.

The screen is 320x240 and you get bluetooth, us and SD card interfaces.

Cool. Enjoy!
