How can I send messages over ethernet on local network

[Rasp]

Hi all,

I am looking for an easy way to send messages over a local network so my computers can share date with each other. I have never done network coding so I have no real idea where to start.

Some basic code examples would be a big help.

Thanks
Graham

RISC OS uses essentially standard Berkeley sockets. (BSD sockets) API for TCP/IP, so any BSD sockets tutorials will serve you well. For example https://michaeldipperstein.github.io/sockets.html

I don't really advise this, but a semi-related reference for network and time stuff specifically on RISC OS would be the open source NetTime : https://www.riscosopen.org/viewer/view/ ... g/NetTime/?

Thanks for the reply, that will take some digesting.

I don't know why but I was expecting 5 or so lines to read and the same to write. Reading time

Well, that's probably possible for a simple case of a fixed UDP message. You can even do it from BASIC if you wish; Example : https://www.riscosopen.org/forum/forums/11/topics/3149
