how to send a variable on net?

[neo4life]

Hello,
Lets say I have this meaningless program:

#include <conio.h>

main()
{
      char a;
      a=getch();
}

How can I send what I've enterd into variable a to another .exe self made program which is located in a non-local-network-pc?

Please throw me a bone here

"Extreme thanks in advance!:)"
Neo,

If you are only going to send chars and only do it once, you could just use sockets, and set-up a dedicated client/host.

On Windows, use WinSock:

Although I would suggest using Boost in order to do it, since it is portable...I think Boost.asio works:

EDIT: Lol, same post time >.>
