How to access to a LAN computer

[cjavierm]

Hi everyone,

Here is my problem, i would like to know what Java class I can import to program the access to other computer which is in my LAN connection.

For example if I want to save a file in my brothers computers (which is in my house) I would like to know what function or class of the Java Library could allows me to to that.

pd: next step will be to show it on a java view :D


Thanks a lot,
Javier

That would be Socket Programming. Sockets are the basis for connecting to any other computer.

By showing it on a Java View, what do you actually mean?

Thanks! I will take a look to that link tomorrow (work first hah). In case of doubts I will write you again xD

Oh.. Java view .. I was trying to say that I will try to use the java.swing class to write the computer address and show some confirmation of the succeded transfered file... Nevermind hahah

The important thing was the link you send me xD. Thanks again!

Hi, I copy the code which is in this link Reading from and Writing to a Socket (The Java™ Tutorials > Custom Networking > All About Sockets)

I am catching this error: System.err.println("Couldn't get I/O for "
+ "the connection to: PABLO-PC.");

I don´t know why because i can acces to PABLO-PC by the network.. but in the code it has that problem. How can i fix that?

Do you have a server running on 'PABLO-PC'? If there's no server running on the port you're trying to connect to, on the computer you're trying to connect to, you won't be able to connect.

I think I used the wrong port to acces to PABLO-PC´s. I will try using the FTP port.
