    The client requests a file from the server. If the file exists, the server opens it, reads the contents and sends it to the client. The client receives the file contents and displays it on the console. The program implements this using sockets in C: The server creates a socket, binds and listens for connections. When the client connects, the server receives the filename, opens the file, reads the contents and sends it to the client. The client creates a socket, connects to the server, sends the filename, receives the file contents and writes it to the console before closing the connection.

    Lab Experiment:

    Write a Program in C using sockets depicting the following scenario:

    The client requests for a file. The server opens the file, if it exists and transfers the contents of the file to
    the client. The client displays the contents of the file received on the console.

    Flow:-

    Client Server

    Create_socket
    Create_socket

    Bind_socket

    Listen

    Connect_socket

    Accept connection

    Take filename from user send(Filename)

    Recv(Filename)

    OpenFile(Filename)

    Send(contentsOfFile) ReadFile

    Recv(contentsOfFile)

    Close_socket

    DisplayOnConsole(contentsOfFile)

    Close_socket
    PROCEDURE:

    Header files to be included:


    #include <sys/types.h>
    #include <sys/socket.h>
    #include <netinet/in.h>
    #include <sys/stat.h>
    #include <unistd.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <fcntl.h>

    /*server.c*/
    1. Create a socket
    int sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
    if (sockfd < 0) printf("ERROR opening socket");
    else printf(“Socket was created\n”);
    2. Bind the socket to an address
    Struct sockaddr_in addr;
    addr.sin_family = AF_INET;
    addr.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY;
    addr.sin_port = htons(15000);
    bind(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *) & addr, sizeof(addr);
    3. Listen for connections
    listen(sockfd,5);
    4. Accept a connection
    int addrlen = sizeof(struct sockaddr_in)
    int newsockfd = accept(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *) & addr,&addrlen);
    5. Send and receive data
    recv(newsockfd, fname,255,0)
    /* open the file */
    int fd= open(fname, O_RDONLY)
    /* read and send the contents of the file */
    int cont,bufsize=1024; char * buffer = malloc(bufsize);
    while((cont = read(fd,buffer,bufsize)) >0)
    send(newsockfd,buffer,cont,0);
    6 /* close the connection */
    Close(sockfd);
    Close(newsockfd);

    /* client.c */
    1. Create a socket
    int sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
    if (sockfd < 0) printf("ERROR opening socket");
    2. Connect the socket to the address of the server
    Struct sockaddr_in addr;
    addr.sin_family = AF_INET;
    addr.sin_port = htons(15000);
    inet_pton(AF_INET,argv[1],&addr.sin_addr);

    connect(sockfd,(struct sockaddr *)&addr, sizeof(addr));


    3. Send and receive data
    send(sockfd, fname, sizeof(fname),0);
    /* receive the file contents from server and write to console */
    while((cont = recv(sockfd, buffer, bufsize,0)) > 0)
    write(1, buffer,cont);

    4. /* close the connection */


    Close(sockfd);
