Telnet client for ARM

[wltec]

Hello,

this is my first message in this forum... Please excuse my poor english - it is not my native language.

I've in my home-network an Telnet-server with fixed IP (made with Arduino and an Ethernet-Shield),
and want to communicate not only in the home-network (eg. with Putty) with him.

With my QNAP-cloud adress I can login from outside my LAN to my NAS, but there is no possibility for me to communicate from the NAS to the Arduino.

So I want to install the Putty-telnet-client from

viewtopic.php?t=122674

but my NAS - the QNAP TS 212 - does not support the x86/64 structure, it needs software written for arm-processors.

Do somebody know a solution for my problem?

Thank you very much

Wilhelm

You can install Entware (-ng or -3x). Busybox has telnet applet.
Entware-3x installs busybox by default.

zxymon

just installed it.
Is ther a wiki about how to use busybox/Entware via the QNAP-web-interface?

Thank you very much

No, because they don't have web-interfaces. They are command-line only.

[wltec]

Ok,

so I will look for another solutions :/

Thank you very much

[dolbyman]

so you have an arduino telnet server in your network but ssh administration is not your thing?

[wltec]

Yes - I have an telnet-server running on an Arduino mega.

One year ago I tried a lot of communication-possibilities (twitter, telnet, ftp, email, webdav ...)
and two of them (twitter in one way and telnet in both ways) were working without problems since that time ...
... and didn't need a lot of capacity of the microcontroller.

Security reasons are not important for me, I just collect some informations about temperatures etc.

Now I use an Laptop at home connected via Teamviewer to take a look at my Arduino-system.

If it is possible to use my QNAP-NAS for this work, I can use my Laptop on other places too

Thank you very much

It sounds like you may be trying to do this in a rather odd way.

If I understand you correctly, you would like to be able to access your Arduino via Telnet from outside your LAN.

Have you tried forwarding an unused and uncommon port on your router directly to the Arduino's Telnet port?

[wltec]

I use an (old) Thomson TG585v7 Router.

It offer three dynamic name servers: dyndns, no-ip and DtDNS.

In the past I've used no-ip, but since I have to confirm my account every 30 days, I was very happy with the QNAP-service...
(btw. Dyndns is not free and maybe I should give DtDNS a try...)

... If I use the port-forwarding I have to take an Telnet-Client with me ...

-> Easier would be to surf on my NAS and use an lightweigt-web-based Telnet-Client-App.

I've found such an App for QNAP ( viewtopic.php?t=122674 ), but this one was compiled for the wrong architecture - my TS-212 use an arm-processor.

Anyway thank you very much

Ugh! I still have one of those somewhere too.

Even easier would be to use a browser-based telnet client.

That particular post is for using PuTTY in HD Station.

Also, I'd recommend you use SSH instead of Telnet. Your traffic is encrypted.

[wltec]

Sounds good!

I will test this on the end of the week;
just made an account on DtDNS for free.

So my thinking about the Putty-client in my NAS was wrong - I'm just an newbie :/

Is it possible to (port-)forward with my Qnap-Cloud-adress (****.myqnapcloud.com PORT)?

Thank you very much

I can't help there - I've no experience with any of the QNAP cloud features. But maybe another forum member can advise you on this.

When I access my own LAN, I VPN into the NAS, then SSH or HTTP into each device as required.

[wltec]

Yes, I understand.

I'll try it on Friday with Portforwarding on my router and the online telnetservices and will report the behavior of my system.

Thank you again

Hello

The port-forwarding on my router (THOMSON TG585 v7) was with an dynamic DNS was not successful.
The same fail during port-forwarding on my NETGEAR FVS318N router (inside my LAN).

So I've wait for my prefered methode with an QNAP-app...

Meantime I will further hunt(?) on portforwardng.

Thank you very much
