A socket program ?

I hear people talk about socket programs and I'm like WHAT?! :D

Well, you know what they say - ignorance is bliss.

:rolleyes: Sure enough but then again... what am I doing here... let's all go smoke some weed!!! :D

A self confessed, "quick and dirty primer" on sockets can be found here...

A socket is an end point of communication. This is, a point at which we can send and receive data. Sockets are used to create network applications to transfer data over an internet, intranet or even between two PCs.

For example, FTP applications are written using sockets.

If you don't know what FTP is, may God help you.
