How to establish a TCP client connection to a remote server in Go?

To establish a TCP client connection to a remote server in Go, you can follow the below steps:

Import the net package, which provides functions and types for network operations.
Create the IP address and port of the remote server you want to connect to.
Use the Dial function to establish a TCP connection to the remote server.
Handle any errors that occur during the connection establishment process.
Close the connection when you're done.

Here is an example code snippet that demonstrates the process:

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"net"
)

func main() {
	// IP address and port of the remote server
	ip := "127.0.0.1"
	port := "8080"

	// Create the remote server address
	address := fmt.Sprintf("%s:%s", ip, port)

	// Establish a TCP connection to the remote server
	conn, err := net.Dial("tcp", address)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println("Error connecting:", err.Error())
		return
	}

	// Close the connection when done
	defer conn.Close()

	// Connection successful, continue with your logic here
	fmt.Println("Connected to", address)

	// Perform any operations on the connection like sending/receiving data
	// ...
}

Replace the ip and port variables with the actual IP address and port of the remote server you want to connect to. The Dial function establishes a TCP connection to the specified address, and any error that occurs during the connection establishment process is handled and printed.
