Exercise 2b: File Transfer using TCP

AIM

To transfer a file from server to client using TCP socket programming

ALGORITHM

CLIENT

1. Create a socket using socket() system call.

2. Connect it to the server.

3. Prompt the user to enter the file name.

4. Transfer the file name to the server

5. Receive the contents of the file and save in a new location

6. Close the socket

SERVER

1. Create a socket using socket() system call.

2. Bind the created socket with the port.

3. Listen for the connections.

4. When the server receives file name from the client, read the contents and send the
contents

to client.
