#6 using a different port then default port 2401 (:pserver:)

Hi guys,

in your class CSVServerConnection the DefaultPort is
hard-coded to 2401 (cvs standard port) and when
authenticating with 'pserver' there is following code:

tcpclient.Connect(repository.CvsRoot.Host, DEFAULT_PORT);

So it is not possible to connect on a different port
then 2401.

Is it possible to change this behaviour and let me
choose a port?

Best regards and thanx,
Ultra.

Yes it is possible -D

Do you want to do something like any port can be connected to?

my_addr.sin_port = htons(0);
/* choose an unused port at random */

my_addr.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_ANY);
/* use my IP address */

or, if you want to change the port to a specified port then
use something like this:

#include <string.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>

#define MYPORT 2401 /* CHANGE THIS */

main()
{
int sockfd;
struct sockaddr_in my_addr;

sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0); /* do some
error checking! */

my_addr.sin_family = AF_INET; /* host byte order */
my_addr.sin_port = htons(MYPORT); /* short, network
byte order */
my_addr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("....");
bzero(&(my_addr.sin_zero), 8); /* zero the rest
of the struct */

/* don't forget your error checking for bind(): */
bind(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *)&my_addr,
sizeof(struct sockaddr));
