Read With Formatting

Guys, I am getting very frustrated in my attempts to create what should be a simple little program. I need to be able to create a program that will listen to a specific port on a specific IP Address, capture the streaming data, save it to a text file and wait for the next stream. I am new to C so please bear with me....
I have found a variety of client/server examples for network streams and have been trying to figure out how they do what they do so that I can re-configure them to suit my needs but no luck so far. Can anyone please show me how to do this? I will be compiling this on my Ubuntu linux PC using g++.

Thanks.
