“Star Wars” was a movie that was watched and loved by many people. Telnet is a connection method that allows character-based terminals to communicate with a remote server using text-based command-oriented terminal sessions. Here is how we can view a version of “Star Wars,” which is entirely rendered in ASCII characters using the Command Prompt on Windows or Terminal on Mac using Telnet.
1. Installation:
In older Windows versions, Telnet was inbuilt, but nowadays, it has to be activated first. So to activate Telnet on a Windows system, follow these steps:
STEP 1: First, type “Turn Windows features on or off” in the search bar at the bottom left of the screen.
STEP 2: Look for “Telnet Client” and mark the checkbox. Click on “OK” to save the settings.
FOR MAC:
Just open the terminal, type “telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl” and hit the “Enter” key. The movie starts.
Using TELNET:
To play “Star Wars” in the terminal, follow these steps:
STEP 1: Open the command prompt, type “telnet,” and hit the “Enter” key. Now one can see the “Microsoft Telnet” portal opens in the command prompt.
STEP 2: Now type “o” and hit the “Enter” key.
STEP 3: Now type “telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl” and hit the “Enter” key. Enjoy the movie now!
