How can I use netreceive (TCP) when the remote host is listening for connections? I.e. connect to remote host and receive data, instead of accept incoming connections and receive data.

Thanks,

you mean kinda reverse connection?
I don't know.

But you could send a broadcast message with netsend like "my-IP, my-port is blabla"
The remote mashine starts then a netsend connection to yours.

Thanks that's a good idea. I have to add support in the server for it, but it seems like the easiest option (I actually only need to send the port, since the server can tell which IP the connection came from, which makes the PD side a lot simpler).

here is quick patch

Whoa thank you I did not expect that.
