I'm reasonably new to C/C++ although I have extensive knowlege of Visual Basic. I am trying to convert some software I wrote to Linux so that Linux users can also use it. This is client software I'm talking about (designed to connect to a Windows server).

I am wondering how I can establish a connection with the server and then have separate functions to handle incoming data and to send outgoing data. As I said I'm quite new and have not had much experience of C++ yet. If anyone can help me by providing links to LINUX tutorials or sample source it'd be much appreciated.

To be honest, you need to get up to speed a little on the C or C++ front before tackling something like this. There are plenty of traps which are easy to disguise through simple coding mistakes.

Just so you know, there is no actual language called C/C++.

Then what is C and what is C++... I was under the impression that they were both programming languages and that C++ was a more up to date and improved version of C

I see what you mean - I think - nooo! / is a separator... meant to be understood like "or"
