Win 2003 listening to a port?

[Aerodyne]

Hi all,

I need Windows 2003 SP1 to listen for a connection on a specific port & accept a file sent to that port... then save the file in a folder/dir that I set it?

Is it possible to do this... or if I need some s/w (prefer free) set up please let me know.


TIA

Why don't you setup an FTP site on the server set to the specific port and get your source machine to FTP the file?

It's actually an application that I've coded so it opens a socket... it sends a text file to an IP addr & port #. I was wondering if I can get Windows 2003 SP1 standard edition to deal with everything else on the server end?

Don't think I want to get my app to deal with FTP usr/pwd stuff!

Just listens to a port & gets teh file into a folder.


Thanks

You would need to write software to open the listening port and accept the connection and write the file. Windows won't do any of that for you.
