# TCP echo server
## Concepts
- Listening for TCP port connections with
[Deno.listen](https://doc.deno.land/builtin/stable#Deno.listen)
- Use [Deno.copy](https://doc.deno.land/builtin/stable#Deno.copy) to take
inbound data and redirect it to be outbound data
## Example
This is an example of a server which accepts connections on port 8080, and
returns to the client anything it sends.
```ts
/**
* echo_server.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);
}
```
Run with:
```shell
deno run --allow-net echo_server.ts
```
To test it, try sending data to it with
[netcat](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netcat) (Linux/MacOS only). Below
`'hello world'` is sent over the connection, which is then echoed back to the
user:
```shell
$ nc localhost 8080
hello world
hello world
```
Like the [cat.ts example](./unix_cat.md), the `copy()` function here also does
not make unnecessary memory copies. It receives a packet from the kernel and
sends back, without further complexity.
