As some may be aware (from the post that started the rather long
volatile variable thread), I am attempting to write an ftp server for a
computer science project. I've gotten most of the code done, only the
actual data module needs to be written (the Server-DTP for those
familiar with the protocol). I'm trying to figure out the best way to
find a spare port for PASV connections, and was hoping there's a
slightly more elegant solution than calling bind and checking for
EAADDRINUSE on errno. I'm expecting my copy of the Stevens book any day
now, so hopefully that'll stop my incessant babbling on these lists...
Sorry for the inconvenience, thanks for the help.
