Check remote TCP Port

[ntbushwick]

I am not trying to port scan servers. I just need to verify a port on my server is always available, so that my application can always connect to it. How can I use autoit to check to see if a specifc port is listening on a server?

Thanks.

Look at these network functions:

TCPStartUp()

TCPConnect()

TCPCloseSocket()

TCPShutDown()

Hi,

Download AU3Xtra.dll from Larry's web, see examples in the zipped file

Something like :

$dest="bumper"
$port = "8080"
DLLCall( "AU3Xtra.dll", "int", "TCPStartUp" )

$var = DLLCall( "AU3Xtra.dll", "int", "TCPNameToIP", "str", $dest, "str", "" )

$socket = DLLCall( "AU3Xtra.dll", "int", "TCPConnect", "str", $var[2], "int", $port )
If @error Or $socket[0] < 0 Then
Msgbox(0,'PORT STATUS',"NOT OK" )
else
Msgbox(0,'PORT STATUS', "OK" )
Endif

DLLCall( "AU3Xtra.dll", "int", "TCPShutDown" )

kristoff, those functions are now included in the beta release. The Dll is no longer necessary for TCP functions.

Oppss !

Actually...........Really much easier : :"> ..and easily affordable

Require beta 31148

#include <C:\Scripts\AutoItV3\beta311-48\include\GUIConstants.au3>
; Start The TCP Services
;==============================================
TCPStartUp()
;CLIENT!!!!!!!! Start SERVER First... dummy!!
$g_name = "4test"

$IP = TCPNameToIP($g_name)
msgbox(0,"NAME ",$IP)
; Connect to a Listening "SOCKET"
;==============================================
$socket = TCPConnect( $IP, 80 )
If $socket = -1 Then
msgbox(0,"PORT"," GO FISHING PORT IS CLOSED ")
else
msgbox(0,"PORT"," PORT OPEN ")
Endif

Looking forward this release of AutoIt in production, great tx to dvpt team

Don't forget to close the socket you created (sorry, I have to close anything I open, I'm anal retentive about that ).

The beta version can be found in the Developers forum, under 3.1.1++ topic.
