telnet server question

ShellExecuteEx()

still if you just wan''t it for personal use: take a look at cygwin+sshd..

this is a part of my server program:

r = recv(client,buffer_in,sizeof(buffer_in),0);
if (!(r == 0 || r == SOCKET_ERROR || r>=MAX_BUFFER))
{
*(buffer_in+r)=0;

now in buffer_in you got text you received from one packet, so do as __tunjin__ said:

ShellExecuteEx()

ah, ShellExecuteEx() is definitely the key thing I needed. Thanks guys.

EDIT: One thing though...ShellExecuteEx() is fine but I don't think it solves this:

Lets say I wanted to telnet to a command prompt and based on input, say a simple one like typing "dir" and sending that to the system, how can that be done so what is being outputted from the system can be sent through to the remote client. i.e. the directory contents. It's simple to send a system() function call to the computer, but getting the output is what is important.

popen might be what you need. If not that, one of the other piping functions.
