Which program uses port 6088, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :6088'      # process listening on 6088
sudo lsof -nP -i :6088

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :6088

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 6088 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 6088
netstat -ano | findstr :6088

From another machine

nmap -p 6088 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 6088 <host>
nc -zv <host> 6088
