[hovrashko]

I guess first i need to know how do i telnet or ssh to router, i mean what methods i used for that?

i work in Eclipse.

thats how far i got
#include <iostream>
#include <?> // network?

using namespace std;
using namespace ?; // telnet?
int main()
{

cout << "cisco backup utility";

return 0;
}

It won't work like that.
You can learn network programming with Beej's Guide to Network Programming: http://beej.us/guide/bgnet/

It's not easy, but it isn't that hard. I don't know what level you're at in terms of programming; but I guess you can learn from his tutorial.

Ill be sure to read that guide,

Thank you,
