I thought I saw it work in XP? Perhaps strings.exe isn't in your path, try searching for it, then change to that dir and run it from there. @Nancy
What version of Windows are you running? I thought I saw it work in XP? Perhaps strings.exe isn’t in your path, try searching for it, then change to that dir and run it from there.

It says these commands do not work. "'strings.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file".

It says these commands do not work. “’strings.exe’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file”.

It doesn't even have command-line history. Telnet is really bad too; even had some simple RFC violations until a recent patch. How can you not even meet the RFC requirements for a 20-year old protocol? If you're looking for a good (GUI) SSH client for Windows, I can recommend PuTTY. It actually does FTP too. No clue why Microsoft has never included an SSH client. Must be because security is their "number 1 priority". BTW, strings.exe isn't something that comes standard on Windows.
