How to login Windows host with telnet?

    If SSForge will be installed on Windows system, please read the following instruction to use telnet (Generally, your host provider will already opened telnet service for you, you just need to start from "c" step.):

    a. Install telnet server on Windows SSForge host if not:
    i>. If the SSForge host is Windows 9x/ME/2000/XP/2003, the telnet is installed as default.
    ii>. If the SSForge host is Vista/Windows 2008, you need to active the telnet server first, just click "Start" menu => "Control Panel" => "Programs and Features" => "Turn Windows features on or off", then select the "Telnet Server" option and press "OK" to save. And add the user for login to "TelnetClients" group under "Control Panel" => "Administrative Tools" =>  "Computer Manage".

     Windows system doesn't start telnet service as default. You can open "Start Menu" => "Control Panel" => "Administrative Tools" => "Service" =>  "Telnet" to start telnet service on SSForge host, if select "Automatic" as "Startup type" on the "Telnet property" dialog will make telnet service automatically start when Windows startup.


    b. Config telnet server on Window SSForge host:
    i>. If the SSForge host is Win 9x/ME/2000/NT/WinXP/2003, you need to set NTLM Authentication to 1:
    Windows system not allows you to input user name and password to login telnet as default, the NTLM is set to 2. And it display following text when login through Internet:
      NTLM Authentication failed due to insufficient credentials. Please login withclear text username and password
      Server allows NTLM authentication only
      Server has closed connection
    We need to change NTLM to 0 or 1. Just input "tlntadmn" into "Start Menu" => "Run" on SSForge host, then input 3 to select "display/change registry", then input 7 to select  "NTLM", then change NTLM to 0 or 1.

     ii>. If the host is Vista/Windows 2008, you need to set the "Telnet" service login as local system:
     Open "Start Menu" => "Control Panel" => "Administrative Tools" => "Service" =>  "Telnet", then click the "Log On" tab on the "Telnet Properties" dialog box. Then select "Local System Account" in "Log on as ", and press "OK" to save. Restart the telnet service.


    c. Install telnet client on your own Windows computer:
    i>. If your own computer is Windows 9x/ME/2000/XP/2003, the telnet client is installed default.
    ii>. If your own computer is Vista/Windows 2008, you need to active the telnet client. Just click "Start" menu => "Control Panel" => "Programs and Features" => "Turn Windows features on or off", then select the "Telnet Client" option and press "OK" to save.


    d. Login with telnet through Internet/Intranet:
    Click "Start Menu" => "Run", or click "Start Menu" => "All Programs" => "Accessories" = "Command Prompt" on your own computer.  If the SSForge host's IP is "122.122.1.1",  you can input "telnet 122.122.1.1" command to run telnet. Then input your SSForge host's user name and password to login  (The user name and password is your host's Windows users.  If you don't know, please contact your host provider).  If you want to install programs or manage services with telnet, you need to login with user which belong to "Administrators" group instead of "Guests" or "Users" etc.
    If the SSForge host refuse you to login telnet, you need to set the firewall on SSForge host to enable telnet.
   After login successfully, you can input DOS command to do what you want. For example, input "dir" to see files, "cd path" to change path.
