Hello, I want to use KypM as a listening server only that accept connections at specific port and log strings have been received to a file. Is this possible?? Thanks Sensiva

>I want to use KypM as a listening server only that accept connections at specific port I'm not sure that I get your question, KTS will listen only on the port you setup. It's usually 22 when running in SSH mode or 23 when in TELNET mode. > and log strings have been received to a file. There's a log file in Program Files\KTS\log\kts-log.txt is this what you want?

I know this exactly, I can setup KpyM to listen to any port. But once I connect to this port and logged in, it gets me into shell, which I don't want. I want it to log every string I send to this port into a text log file The log file you mentioned only logs connections tryout, but doesn't log what data has been exchanged during session Please, advice Thanks Sensiva

The best I can think of is to automatically start your own application on top of the command shell that reads every key stroke and writes it to a log file. Kroum
Sensiva	No Keystrokes neeeded	Feb 26 2008 13:35

No man!!... I am not talking about keystrokes. I have a device that can initiate TCP/IP connection, and send specific strings or messages(which I need to log). Can this device connect to KpyMs port then KpyM in turn won't drop into shell and start logging every string or message sent from this device. I hope you understand me now

You can't do that just using KTS. You can start your own application on top of the command shell that reads every key stroke and writes it to a log file. When a device sends a message to the server it will be converted to keystrokes on the host and possibly logged by your "application". Obviously this is far from optimal solution. I definitely do not recommend you to implement this. Kroum
Sensiva	OMG... I liked your app	Feb 27 2008 00:34

Oh... I am very sorry, I liked your program... I'll see what I can do... Mean while.. what do you suggest? How can I make my PC listening for a specific port and once a connection established it logs all sent messages? I'll Appreciate your advice Thanks Sensiva

I'm not aware of a product that can do that out of the box. The best you can do is to find someone to create a custom software for you that does exactly what you nead. Kroum

Check the NTFS permissions on command prompt(cmd.exe) file, the user you are loging in should have execute permissin on this file. Also check your firewall/antivirus some of these are rather agressive when protecting your box and sometimes get suspicious when cmd.exe is started and might abort the execution. Kroum
