Anyone got Lucky? Not rude - just an old Windows telnet client

JB · Feb 23, 2010, 17:25:37

This is a really long shot.

Does anyone happen to have a copy of a telnet client called Lucky 2.1.1.3? This was a freeware telnet client written by a chap called Olmer in Russia. It was released in 2005 and sadly the web address just gives a 404 error. All the download links I can find via Google are redirected to the Russian site as non of the other sites actually host the file.

It's quite a small file at just over 100 meg.

Like I say - a really long shot.

Ta.

Sorry, JB, not come across it.

Glenn · Feb 23, 2010, 18:27:32

Me neither, sorry

All the download links I found got a Russian 404 page not found error. Sorry......

Is the file 104 Kb ? Not 100 Mb !!

How about this?

Takes you back to http://www.allfornet.narod.ru/Lucky.zip which does not exist anymore.

Rik · Feb 23, 2010, 18:38:44

Perhaps not such a good idea.

rgt247 · Feb 23, 2010, 18:41:06

All the links I found go back to Glenn's Link above...

Rik · Feb 23, 2010, 18:42:20

Same here.

FTP search? or would PuTTY not do the job?

sobranie · Feb 23, 2010, 19:55:50

It sometimes pays to look on search engines other than Google.
Loads of links at yahoo for instance.
Try this one;

Glenn · Feb 23, 2010, 20:11:25

The first 3 searches all go back to the link I posted.

Ooops. Sorry!

Have tried a few torrent sites too but all roads seem to lead to Rome on this one.

JB · Feb 23, 2010, 21:27:30

Just wanted to thank everyone for their help.

My bad, the file is just over 100K not 100M. Sorry!

All roads lead to Rome on this one. Putty is a very good utility which I use all the time, but for a friend with little knowledge of any unix commands, the graphical interface of this program would have been useful.

I guess if nobody has this sitting in their archives it will be impossible to track down. I even visited a few Chinese sites, which usually come up trumphs, and looked on torrent, but no luck.

Thanks all, again.

JB.

WinSCP?

Inkblot · Feb 24, 2010, 07:06:45

I tried a few sites as well without any luck but I did notice that an email address (Wurdalak15@yandex.ru) appears on one of them here, might be worth a try although if the site is down the email won't necessarily go through of course.

gizmo71 · Feb 24, 2010, 07:34:58

Tera Term Pro is my favoured client.

JB · Feb 24, 2010, 10:35:21

Once again, thanks for the input.

Gizmo71, he really needs a graphical interface which is why I thought the Lucky software may suit. What he wants to do is transfer files back and forward to a media player which uses Linux. It's a long story so I won't bore you with all the details. The media player has a telnet server built in but no SSH.

Steve, I thought of WinSCP as I use it myself but I don't believe it supports telnet, just SFTP, SCP and FTP as a last resort.

I'll keep looking. Failing that I might have to spend some time teaching him some basic shell commands
