Simple socket server that can send raw messsages that I type in?

Question

Hi,

Does a simple socket server exists that sends any message I want to send to all clients? I need to do this to test a socket client. And FAFAIK Putty can't do this.

Thanks, Myth

Answer 1

I am not exactly sure what you want, but maybe have a look at netcat (there are ports for nearly any platform just search for netcat).

For an overview of netcat's functions look at the man page of it.

Answer 2

you can use "telnet portno" if its a tcp socket
