Need help building a Unix client program

[JavelinMan]

I need to write a simple client prog to request info from a known server. I do not know where to begin. Please give any guide, hints or spoilers. Would be much appreciated.

I have Borland 5.02 from Builder 4.0.

Thanks

I mentioned this in a previous post where someone was having trouble reading the data from the Unix system. I do not know how to write the code to retrieve the data but do be aware if the UNIX system is on an HP your data will be reversed due to BIG ENDIAN / LITTLE ENDIAN problems.

What kind of Client do you need?

If FTP:

Most clients have the functions unix to dos and are handling the BIG Endian/Little Endian internally.

If not FTP:

Read some Literature on Socket Programming, because that the basics on Client/Server Solutions.
