Telnet Server -- Read in strings

Question

I have written a java program that acts as a Telnet server.
The server asks the client a question with the following code:
public final class Server extends Thread{
     Server(){
     public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception{
                new Server();
                Server.serverSocket = new ServerSocket(12345);
                Socket connection = Server.serverSocket.accept();
                connection.setTcpNoDelay(true);
          connection.setSoLinger(false,0);
                PrintStream pout = new PrintStream(connection.getOutputStream());
                pout.println("What is your name?");
}Now I want the server to read in the answer the client writes (in this case, the client would write his name, and the server has to capture this name).
I use putty to connect to my telnet server.
Could anyone give me a clue on how to do this?

Answer 1

I have written a java program that acts as a Telnet server.Not unless it implements the dozens of Telnet RFCs, which this one doesn't even begin to do.
          connection.setSoLinger(false,0);Don't do that.
PrintStream pout = new PrintStream(connection.getOutputStream());
pout.println("What is your name?");So here you got the OutputStream from the socket and wrote to it.
Now I want the server to read in the answer the client writes (in this case, the client would write his name, and the server has to capture this name).So you want to get the input stream from the socket and read from it.
