I have two machines one computer acting as a server(just processing data and sending responses automated) the other I have have running a client app that will eventually control computer one. Both programs use C++. computer 1 uses LINUX C++ 2nd uses Windows C++. what would I need to add to computer 2 application (windows C++) control and manage computer 2 (linux C++).
I don't quite follow what you are trying to ask here. But it sounds like you want a client computer to send data to a server computer. In which case I would use sockets to send and receive data back and forth. Probably better if you explain in clearer terms what you are attempting to do.
