Can I manage aMule remotely through telnet in the same way I do with eDonkey?
Yes you can, but not exactly in the same way as you do with eDonkey. Just start a normal telnet (or ssh) session with the host computer (the one running aMule) and, once in, use amulecmd to take control over aMule. To start new downloads just use the ed2k command. Remember aMuleCMD must be configured. Another aMule utility that might be of your interest is CAS (which’s command is cas) which will show basic aMule statistics. Also, aMule WebServer might be what you are looking for if you can and don’t mind using a web browser on the client computer. Have in mind that aMule WebBrowser must also be configured.
