I am trying to execute my vb.net console app via telnet to a windows 2003 server. I copied the .exe file into a folder on the server which is hosting the telnet. When I am connected via telnet, I go to that folder and type the name of the application (scanner.exe), nothing happens and I am returned to the command prompt I was just at. No error messages, nothing.

If I run scanner.exe from a command prompt from the server (i.e. not using telnet, just running it directly at the command line) it works exactly as it should. Something with it being telnet must be the issue. I am new to telnet so any advice would be helpful.

Thanks!
 
Check that the telnet user has rights to access that file and that when you login the telnet server is actually using that user's permissions.
