I don't know what n2.txt is but if it's a script, you might consider using ssh, rsh, or rexec instead of telnet. Telnet is generally used for interactive sessions.

n2.txt contains the username and password.

so i m passing through that script.

my intention is to login to remote server production2 from a script(naveed2.sh) in a host server test1 and perform some functions in remote server production2 .
i thought of using telnet as someone suggested me. if this is not possible with telnet what to use and how to use it?

Look at the man pages for rcp and rexec. If you are interested in a more secure way of doing this, Google scp.

Sorry, I meant Google ssh, not scp. Somehow, I can't edit the message after I posted it.

To me, you should spend the time to learn about setting up ssh for this since you are hitting a production server from a test box. It's never a good idea to put your login/password in a plain text file!!!

hi,

use telnet as part of an expect script (advanced sysadmin)
or
better: use ssh/scp with rsa krypto keys (password not necessary)
