Hello, ive been struggling with this for a couple weeks now and was hoping someone might be able to help. I have an older Cognex camera that I need to communicate with via telnet. I can get a response from the camera when I initiate a telnet session but I dont seem to get any response when I write the user name to the camera - I havnt been able to get any response writing anything. Im using python 2.7 and windows xp. here is the code: [code]import sys import telnetlib HOST = "10.31.18.21" USER = "admin" tn = telnetlib.Telnet(HOST) tn.read_until("Login: ")"Welcome to In-Sight(R) 4001 Session 1\r\nUser:"
The returned string ends with "User:", presumably the prompt to enter the username, which makes we wonder whether you should be reading until "User:" instead of until "Login: ".
tn.write(USER + "\r\n")
Should you be ending that with just "\r" or just "\n" instead? (That would be equivalent to typing the username and then pressing the Return key.)
tn.read_until("User: ")
Haven't you already seen "User: "?
Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "C:\Python27\lib\telnetlib.py", line 319, return self.read_very_lazy() File "C:\Python27\lib\telnetlib.py", line 395, raise EOFError, 'telnet connection closed' EOFError: telnet connection closed[\code] if i do a read_all instead of read_until for user I just get "..." returned. Im assuming tn.write command isnt working? any help would be greatly appreciated.
