How do I connect to ports on telnet. I try connecting to port 25 but all I get is could not open connection to the host. I type in telnet IP or host name followed by port number and it doesnt work.
I need help?
well.. technically telnet can connect to port 25 i.e on SMTP server(most probably but not necessary), but then it can only connect.. rest depends on the application protocol, telnet can be used to issue commands to SMTP server since they both establish a TCP/IP connection and can send/receive text.
Thank you guys I had to unblock it. Now I have another question regarding telnet. Now I can connect but how do i send mail through it?
I know to greet the server i got that down then once I try to input MAIL FROM I try my gmail email and on rcpt to: I use my bros hotmail but it says invalid. I need some help. I know im douing something wrong but don't know what.
