[SOLVED] Connect to TCP address in terminal

Issue

How can i connect to the port that is listening in Ubuntu terminal?

I have a server running, which is written in Qt, which opens a port for listening. How can I connect to it through the Ubuntu terminal? I don't want to write a separate client for program testing

Solution

In your case, you might want to use telnet or nc(netcat).

• Telnet

  The telnet command is a simple way to establish a TCP connection to a remote server. Here's how you can use it:

  telnet <server-ip> <port>
  

• Using nc(Netcat)

  The nc (netcat) command is a versatile networking utility that can be used for various purposes, including creating TCP and UDP connections. Here's how you can use it:

  nc <server-ip> <port>
  

Remember to replace the server-ip and port with your own.
