    Creating Internet Ports

    There are some programs like uTorrent that allow me log into them through the url:

    http://localhost:8080/gui/

    How would I be able to create a port like that, and display information there?

    What you've shown there is something you configure in a web server. You create a web site and specify that it's available on port 8080 rather than the standard HTTP port 80.

    You can make your .NET apps listen for connections on any port you want using a TcpListener but that doesn't mean you can access them using an HTTP address in a browser.

    Could I create my own server? I guess that is what I am trying to do.

    Here is a link to a website that does something like what I want: HFS ~ HTTP File Server
