protan.exe
Protan is a useful protocol debugging tool. It will create a file that displays all information exchanged between the server and client. When it knows the data type, it will format that data for easier reading.
USAGE:
protan clientport servername serverport
COMMAND OPTIONS:
Clientport Port on the local machine on which protan will listen
servername The server name that protan will connect to after local connection
serverport The port protan will connect to the server on
EXAMPLES:
To analyze data in a Telnet session connected to a server named server1.domain.com, start protan like this:
protan 81 server1.domain.com 23
This starts protan listening on the localhost at port 81. When a connection to port 81 on the localhost is opened, protan will pass that connection on to the server server1.domain.com using the standard Telnet port, 23. Therefore, if you are using Pragma Systems Console Telnet Client, your telnet client would be started like this:
telnetc localhost 81
This tells the telnet client to connect to host localhost on port 81.
