The "Start Process" command does not function with the current release of BO2K. This is a common stumbling block with newbies trying to execute a program remotely. There is a server version avialible, modified by a third party that does have a working "Start process", you'll have to hunt about for a link for it.

But for those who want a solution now, there is an alternative method. Access the remote DOS prompt using a Telnet client and run the program from the command line. This method is not secure though, the telnet transaction will not be encrypted. Here's to do it anyway :

Refer to the screen shot opposite.

Connect to the remote Server as normal.

Select the command "Map Port -> Console App" located under the "TCP/IP" folder

In the "Port" text box, enter a port number. 23 is the normal telnet port.

In the "Full command line" text box, enter c:\command.com.

Click the "Send Command" and shortly after the "Server Response" window should reply with "Port service start-up successful".

In a short while, the C:\ prompt should appear in the telnet window.

Use DOS commands to navigate, find and execute your program.

There maybe limits to what you can execute.

When you have finished your telnet session go back to the BO client and close the telnet port. "Remove Mapped Port" command with the correct port number, (23 for example)

Simple enough eh ?
