I dont know to much about telnet. i know how to log onto my server but i dont the commands to activate import.pl.
can anyone give me an example of how to get import.pl going.
I have everything installed and running and i'm trying to import my links from links 2 to links sql.
any help appreciated.

I believe there are a few different ways to do it, but here's what I did:

1) Upload all of your Links 2 db files into the 'setup' directory where Import.pl resides.

2) Go to the 'setup' directory in telnet -- from the command line type:

cd /path/to/cgi-bin/links/admin/setup

or whatever your path happens to be.

3) Type:

perl Import.pl

(I think ./ Import.pl works also)

And that should do it!
