## TCP echo server This is an example of a simple server which accepts connections on port 8080, and returns to the client anything it sends. ```ts const listener = Deno.listen({ port: 8080 }); console.log("listening on 0.0.0.0:8080"); for await (const conn of listener) { Deno.copy(conn, conn); } ``` When this program is started, it throws PermissionDenied error. ```shell $ deno run https://deno.land/std/examples/echo_server.ts error: Uncaught PermissionDenied: network access to "0.0.0.0:8080", run again with the --allow-net flag ► $deno$/dispatch_json.ts:40:11 at DenoError ($deno$/errors.ts:20:5) ... ``` For security reasons, Deno does not allow programs to access the network without explicit permission. To allow accessing the network, use a command-line flag: ```shell deno run --allow-net https://deno.land/std/examples/echo_server.ts ``` To test it, try sending data to it with netcat: ```shell $ nc localhost 8080 hello world hello world ``` Like the `cat.ts` example, the `copy()` function here also does not make unnecessary memory copies. It receives a packet from the kernel and sends back, without further complexity.
