Using telnet for remote control in WIN10
Answer
In WIN10 the telnet feature is not installed as a standard. You have to activate it separately.
There are two ways to perform this activation:
A) Click through the Windows features (the longer way)
- Right-Click on the WIN10-Symbol ("Start-Button")
- In the new window choose "Apps and Features"
- A new browser window appears
- Click on "Programs and Features"
- In the next popup choose "Activate or deactivate Windows-Features" and go to the next window
- Now search and activate "Telnet Client", press OK to finish this setup
B) Use the command prompt (short way)
- Open the command prompt as Admin
- send the command "dism /online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:TelnetClient"
After this activation simply start telnet from the command prompt (e.g. with telnet 10.205.0.82 5025).
