How would you find whether a remote server is up or not?
Answer Posted / bc
Some times icmp requests might be blocked on the server. So
server might not respond to ping requests.
So better option is try to telnet to various ports on the
server. If it's a webserver 80 port will surely be UP.
So
telnet <server-ip> 80
Will surely yield some results.
