Want to connect to an client ip and open a text file...
Added by Aake Lind almost 7 years ago
How dos it work?
Here is a example of what i have done!
// create socket
int sock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
// create traget socket adress
sockaddr_in addr;
addr.sin_port = htons(22);
addr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("192.168.96.1");
addr.sin_family = AF_INET;
//connect with servers socket
int res = connect(sock,(sockaddr *) &addr, sizeof(addr));
if (res== --1)
{
exit(1);
}
This dosent work.
How do i get it to work with Wt?

Port 22 = ssh? Writing everything from scratch? I can only try to imagine what the rest of this code will look like when you're finished :-)
I recommend to use some SSH library.

Aake,
Wt doesn't impose any particular method. Using the plain posix/bsd socket API as you suggest, can be done. But many C or C libraries encapsulate this in various ways to make it easier/more portable/... to use. Your code fragment is too short to see what may be wrong, and there are better fora to ask questions related to socket programming.
Wt, for example, uses boost.asio for all networking needs. In wt/src/Wt/Http/Client.C, you see an implementation of a HTTP client using boost.asio.
