Since I have been mucking around with sockets (as others on this list
have), I decided to make a simple stack that acted as both a client
and a server and could send any data between the two.
My current plan is to make it a stack that can act as a library so I
can use it at either end and make updates to it without messing with
the rest of my stacks.
In its current form, it lets you send data up to the stack acting as
a server, send a simple command to request data from the server, and
to send a file to the server. (remember, its the same stack, just
running on two machines...and you hit "start server" on one). The
conversation between the two continues until the client or server
says "OK"...so the server can send error messages or whatever back to
the client.
Feel free to use it, take it apart, make it better (lots of
room).....it should be a pretty good intro for someone who is just
learning sockets, but also useful for someone who doesnt want to
learn too much about them (and just wants to move small blocks of
data between stacks). I'll post the library stack once I figure it
out for my purposes.
Detailed instructions are on the page...but in summary...open it on
two computers, click on start server on one, type the IP of the
server into the client, then send some data!
