Hallo.
I need to write some code that will send some simple instructions to a unix server to automate some basic housekeeping chores.
I'd only want to chmod a few files and delete & touch a file here and there.
Looking into this, I think I need to use TClientSocket, but am drawing a complete blank. Every tutorial & FAQ I can find (and there aren't many) talks of functions like SendText and ReceiveText etc.
But the TClientSocket (and TServerSocket, for that matter) doesn't appear to have member functions anything like these!
Can anyone point me in the right direction to achieve what I need? I think my very sanity is at stake.
Any & all help will be VERY, VERY gratefully received.
Thanks,
Douglas JL Common sense is what tells you the world is flat.
