I figured out how to create a very simple socket server. Though this socket server does exactly nothing special. I can however get it to send only one line of data back to the telnet client.
import socket ###################### HOST = "" PORT = 4000 ###################### s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,socket.SOCK_STREAM) s.bind((HOST,PORT)) s.listen(5) def log(): a = addr b = str(a) logfile = open("logfile.log", "a+") logfile.write("Attempting connection from "+b+"\n") logfile.close() while 1: conn, addr = s.accept() data = conn.recv(1024) if not data: break else: conn.send(data) How can I make it so that when a client sends the word hello the server will write back hello, how are you?.
