TCP Server application for SUSE

schaefer76 · 08-31-2010, 09:45 AM

I have multiple locations that I have a Serial-to-Ethernet devices. Right now, I have these devices set up as TCP Server (on the device), but would like to change them to TCP Client. My question is, if doing this, what application is used on Linux to act as a TCP Server? The TCP Client will send the data to a IP Address and Port number, and I would like for Linux to accept the connections. I then have another application running that will grab that data. Is this something easy to do? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It really depends on this other application thqt grabs data.
The simplest idea would be to use netcat and pipe the data to your application.

You might want to look at pureftpd.org.
