Description

The RemotePort property is a scalar integer in the range 1-65536 that identifies the port number associated with a service on a remote computer.

RemotePort may only be specified by a client TCPSocket that is intended to make a connection with a server. Furthermore, it must be specified in the ⎕WC statement that creates the TCPSocket object and it may not subsequently be changed using ⎕WS.

Note that you may use either RemotePort or RemotePortName to identify the remote service. If you know the port number, it is normally quicker to specify RemotePort. However unless it is a well known port number, the use of a port name is generally more flexible. If you specify both properties, the value of RemotePortName will be ignored.

For a server TCPSocket, RemotePort is determined by the port number of the connecting process and is a read-only property.
