Subject: Re: connecting to a hoast

Message-ID: <1095059805.2813.0.camel@client001> (raw)

Ok

-------- Start Code ---------------------------------
#include <sys/socket.h>         // for connection api
#include <sys/types.h>          // for predefined values
#include <netdb.h>              // for hostname resolution api

char* host = "ftp.domain.com¡;
int port = 25;
struct sockaddr_in passive;  
struct protoent * proto;
int skt;

proto = getprotobyname("tcp")   
// gets the prototype number for tcp/ip 

skt = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, proto->p_proto );    
//creates a socket 

passive.sin_family      = AF_INET;              
// IPv4 connection type
passive.sin_addr        = gethostbye(host);     
// resolves the hostname and returns the correct in_addr
passive.sin_port        = htons(port);          
// htons changes the bit order so that it is in network format

connect(skt, &passive, sizeof(passive));        
// connect to host   

close(skt);
// close connection
-------- End Code -----------------------------------
this code does not check for errors and will probably crash if anything
goes wrong.  How ever it does show how to connect to a server.

You should read:
