How do I establish a UDP connection after a TCP connection?

Hi guys I'm currently developing a C project in which we basically need to connect N clients to a server through a proxy. I'm doing the first connecting using the TCP protocol. After this, the client may request a file download using UDP. Do I need to have another socket listening to another port and connect the client again to this port or is this an incorrect way of thinking?

TCP and UDP communicate in very different ways. You'll need a separate socket for each one.

You'll probably want to use the TCP socket to communicate the UDP port to use.
