After VLS has been launched, it opens a telnet server (on the port 9999 by default). You can connect to this server with the following command :
% telnet localhost 9999 |
You should see something like :
Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to vls. Escape character is '^]'. Videolan Server Administration System Login: |
Then you must authenticate with a login/password pair defined in vls.cfg. When you have been successfully authenticated, you should see a prompt like :
admin@vls> > |
Then you can type some commands, which are explained in the next paragraph. To log out, type logout after the telnet prompt .
