Overview of the TCP/IP Palette
The TCP/IP palette provides activities and resources that can send and receive data using the TCP/IP protocol. TCP/IP is often the underlying communication layer for higher-level protocols such as HTTP or FTP. You could use the resources in the TCP palette to communicate with HTTP or FTP severs, but the activities in the HTTP Palette or FTP Palette are best suited for this purpose. This palette is intended for use when communicating with TCP/IP and there is no corresponding ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks palette for the protocol. For example, you may have a custom application that communicates with other applications by way of TCP/IP. You could use the TCP/IP palette to handle incoming and outgoing data from this application.
