Telnet Daemon OverviewPurposeThe Telnet daemon is a server-side implementation of the TELNET protocol, a connection-oriented client-server protocol used for remote logins. It enables you to connect to a Symbian platform device through a Telnet client and run Z Shell (Zsh) commands. The daemon is an interface between the remote Telnet client and the Zsh running on the Symbian platform device. The Telnet daemon enables you to run the Zsh commands to perform the following tasks from a remote Telnet client:

Typical usesInstalling and uninstalling an SIS packageYou can install or uninstall an SIS package on the Symbian platform device. To install or uninstall an SIS package, the SIS file must be transferred to the device using the FTP daemon. When the SIS file is available on the Symbian platform device, use the following Telnet commands to install and uninstall:
