Paramet can provide TCP/IP based client - server bespoke solutions. Internet capable software developed to enable you to offer services using your own protocols, and provide a means to transfer data from application to server without utilising third party components.
Examples of TCP/IP Clients and Servers include Internet Explorer, Internet Information Server, All FTP clients and servers, and even ICQ, AIM and Microsoft Messenger.
This is the client program for our webupdate server. You can read more about this client server suite by clicking here. The client program is a TCP/IP client that connects to the server below. It has a setup screen (shown top left) that allows the user to configure server address, port, time-out and specific webupdate settings. As a deployment tool, we found the webupdate protocol we created to be quicker than the FTP protocol, when copying many smaller files.
This is the server program to serve multiple webupdate clients. The server is multi - threaded, which means that a new process is created for each client. This allows many clients to connect to the server at once, without a loss of service to any client. The server has a cache of ready threads which prevents slow connections due to the server having to create new threads.
