Hi, thanks for the miniUPnP lib

Ive been using libupnp to send some data between 2 machines, but miniUPnP looks so lighweight and easy to port.

Can I use miniUPnP to transfer data (chars/bytes/file) between a custom client and a custom daemon? Should I use simpleUPnPcommand? Whats the most simple way to send some data?

thanks

[miniupnp]

what profile of UPNP were you using for file transfer ??

Hi, thanks for your reply.

I installed the libupnp dev package for linux and then modified the tv ctrl/device sample to send some text bewteen to linux machines.

My goal is to write two simple classes that send/receive data between 2 machines on the local network and Id be happy to submit the files if I could get it to work with miniUPnp. Its like a very simple multi-player setup.

Something like this:

--- server ---

CSever s;
s.register("my-game-server-1");

--- client ---

CCLient c;
if (s = c.findServer("my-game-server-1"))
{
s->sendData("Hello world", 11);
}


So the server class must be able to regsiter itself, the client must be able to search for server and both classes must have send/receive data. Thats it.

thanks

Well You'll need to add your command to send text in miniupnpc/upnpcommand.c
and in miniupnpd/upnpsoap.c

Thanks,

I have now built the both the miniupnpc and miniupnpd on my macbook.

How can I run the miniupnd so that I can discover it with upnpDiscover()? Ive tried sudo ./miniupnp -d but the client only finds my linksys wireless router. It seems the miniupnpd exits without any message.

I have the miniupnpd.conf but not the miniupnpd.pid, not sure where to make/get it.

Ok, but can I use the miniupnp library to create a device that runs on mac? if so, what steps to setup up a "Hello World" device?

Sorry for all the questions if this is not what the miniupnp is ment for.

[miniupnp]

you can surely adapt miniupnpd so it can run on mac.
