Telnet Server

The Microsoft® Windows® CE .NET operating system (OS) includes the source code for a sample Telnet server, also referred to as telnetd. You can install this sample Telnet server on a Windows CE–based device to allow remote administration through a standard Telnet client. The sample Telnet server for Windows CE .NET supports Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6).

The Telnet server supports IPv6. For more information about IPv6, see Core Protocols of IPv6 and Internet Protocol version 6 Addressing.

The sample code for the Telnet server is located in the %_WINCEROOT%\public\servers\sdk\samples\telnet directory. This sample code is intended to demonstrate how to write a Telnet server for a Windows CE-based device that operates as a service.

You can use Services.exe to start, stop, and refresh a Telnet server. For more information about this feature, see Services.exe.

**Note   **Using the Telnet Server provided with Windows CE .NET poses potential security risks. Therefore it is highly recommended that you read Telnet Server Security before using or deploying the sample.
