In computer programing, port has a wide range of meanings. A software port (usually just called a 'port') is a virtual/logical data connection that can be used by programs to exchange data directly, instead of going through a file or other temporary storage location. The most common of these are TCP and UDP ports, which are used to exchange data between computers on the internet.
