posted October 31, 2003 10:45 AM Can someone tell me if there is a way to retrieve the current remote directory of a telnet session. For example, If I telnet to a UNIX box, and change to another directory, how can I tell my application what directory I am currently in? Thanks for any help |

posted October 31, 2003 11:42 AM You would issue a 'pwd' command and then parse the directory name out of the result. Something like this would work: Private Function GetRemoteDir(tnt As Telnet) ' Send pwd command Dim cmd As String cmd = "pwd" + vbCrLf tnt.Send cmd ' Dim a string to be used by the search method Dim Data As String Data = "" ' Search for end of line (this will be the command ' being echoed back ) Data = "" tnt.Search Data, vbCrLf ' Search for end of next line (this will be the directory name) Data = "" tnt.Search Data, vbCrLf ' Return result after stripping off crlf GetRemoteDir = Left(Data, Len(Data) - 2) End Function |
