Understanding SQL*Net

Sample Programs

In this release, two sample applications are provided with your SQL*Net OPEN distribution. They are:

finger - The finger utility connects to a server which retrieves information about who is logged in. This is very simple pair of programs which demonstrate the basic steps involved in building a distributed application. The client program runs on both Solaris and Windows NT; the server is UNIX specific.

tftp - A client and server program are included which implement simple file transfer using the tftp protocol. This is a more extensive example. This demo was implemented for UNIX.
