Thank you kindly,
Zero.
Then you didn't google very hard. In addition, there is no C++
question in you post.
I am sorry but I actually did try my best. But if it so easy would you
be so kind as to point me in the right direction.
And posting this question in comp.lang.c++ I thought it was implied
that my question was related to c++.
So I want to make a server-client program using c++. Could you, or
anyone else, point me in the right direction, please. All I need is a
link or tutorial or library that can help me get on the way. I don't
want you to make the program for me. Just enough to help me along. I
will figure it out from there.
Google for Winsock (supporting news group is
alt.winsock.programming). This answer might be specific to Windows. If
you are not running Windows, try a newsgroup that supports your
platform.
This is also the reason you are off-topic. Standard C++ defines no
such thing as a 'TCP connection', so there is no way to create a
connection with the Standard C++ language, the topic of this news group.
That means, you need a *platform specific* library. All questions
regarding those libraries do not belong here, but to the newsgroup
dealing with that particular library and/or platform. The fact that you
can access those from C++ is irrelevant.
This should clear any doubts.
