Hi all,

I need to open a socket to an IP address which requires username and
password to log in. I use:

Socket socket = new Socket(host, port)

How do I enter the username and password to this socket instance?

Please help.

Thanks, Lior

You dont. Opening sockets has nothing to do with userid/password.

Sockets don't require authentication in the way you've described. Where
exactly are you asked for a username/password? Is it when you visit that
location in your web browser?

Hello

As other said, sockets do not require authentication. The password might be
demanded by the process running behind the socket, such as if you are
connecting to telnet socket port 23.

Connect to the socket, and then send the username and password as strings.
