The main reasons why the error appears is not internal or external team

As already mentioned, one of the reasons is incorrect specifying the path to the file to be opened. Usually the path to the file is written in variable “Path” in the system, a strict path to directory where the necessary files are located. If there are any errors in the settings when specifying a path in a variable, or when specifying the file name, the system will produce just such an error – “file name” is not an internal or external command, executable program.

First of all, you need to specify the exact path of the variable “Path” operating system so that there are no errors when opening a file. To do this, you probably need to know the location of the folder. For example, let’s turn to a program that will work with executable file in a specific folder.

The “Path” variable is an operating system variable that serves to find the specified executable objects through command line or terminal. You can find it in the control panel Windows In new versions of Windows and other operating systems, manual indication usually not required.

In case the error appears again, try transfer the program to the working directories of the disk with the installed operating system, e.g. / System32. With this directory Windows works more often.

Errors also arise due to the lack of program components. You can eliminate them by adding the necessary ones. For example, take the component “Telnet”. To enable it, go to:

• On the “Control Panel”.
• Next, select “Turn components on and off.”
• From the list, select “Telnet Client”, opposite the checkmark and click OK.
