TCP Listening and Sending in the same time ?!?!?
« on: June 17, 2013, 04:42:29 pm »
Hello guys !
I am new to SFML and i really like it. Also this is my first post here ! Well... it is a question... :D So i want to to send packets and listen for packets in the same time on the same port and socket. Is this possible ? I use SFML 2 and i talk about TCP packets. Can some one help me ? I tried many ways but after i call tcppacket.connect so i can send a packet the port changed and i can listen on it... (i have to send and receive on the same port)

That won't work (at least not exactly the way you defined it).

You don't have influence on the outgoing port, but you're able to define the incoming one.

For example, your server listens on port 12345 (don't use that port, bad idea) and a client connects. You're then able to use that connection to send and receive.

You can as well have two peer to peer clients, each one opening port 12345 and connecting to that port on the other client. This will work as well.

You should take a look at the networking tutorial.
