I have prayed to Google many, many times, but I still cannot find an answer (or, at least, an answer that compiles). I want to set up a dirt-simple network client/server pair. So simple that all I do is hurl bytes into a bucket, and they get transferred to the other side. Does anyone know of something like that?

Synapse makes handling of sockets rather easy.

You can use the sockets library for that.
Examples of sockets programming are available in the internet, mainly in C, but you can see how it works with that.

Thanks. I'll check that one out.

I found one that didn't compile. I managed to clean it up, somewhat poorly, enough for it to run, but I haven't been able to understand it yet. Maybe with a bit more time...

Good things to read:

http://wiki.freepascal.org/Networking

http://wiki.freepascal.org/lNet

http://wiki.freepascal.org/Synapse

none of those contain an example like you ask, however. But it should be easy to implement with either synapse or lnet. synapse might even be easier.

Here is an easy way to try Free Pascal, fpGUI, and Synapse: http://www.ctrlterm.com/

Hi,

I'll second that,I use Synapse for any internet related things I need to do, and it seems to work great.

Thank you,
