Simple tcp Server & Client

server:

ü Creates a server socket,

ü Binds it to a port (e.g., 10101),

ü Receives a message from a client and displays it.

client:

ü Creates a client socket,

ü Connect to server at <host> <port> (e.g., localhost and 10101)

ü Sends "Hi" repeatedly out of this socket to the server.

ê tcpServer.c

 
#include "def"
main()
{
 int sd, psd;
 struct sockaddr_in name;
 char buf[1024];
 int cc;
 
 sd = socket (AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,0);
 
 name.sin_family = AF_INET;
 name.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_ANY);
 name.sin_port = htons(atoi( argv[1] ));
 
 bind( sd, (SA *) &name, sizeof(name) );
 
 listen(sd,1);
 
 psd = accept(sd, 0, 0); 
 
 for(;;) {
 
  cc=recv(psd,buf,sizeof(buf), 0) ;
 
  if (cc == 0) exit (0);
  buf[cc] = NULL;
  printf("message received: %s\n", buf);
 }
}
 
Usage example:

% tcpServer0 10101
 
ê tcpClient.c

#include "def"
 
main(argc, argv )
int argc;
char *argv[];
 
{
 int sd;
 struct sockaddr_in server;
 struct hostent *hp, *gethostbyname();
 
 sd = socket (AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,0);
 
 hp = gethostbyname( argv[1] );
 
 bcopy ( hp->h_addr, &(server.sin_addr.s_addr), hp->h_length);
 server.sin_family = AF_INET;
 server.sin_port = htons( atoi( argv[2] ) );
 
 connect(sd, (SA *) &server, sizeof(server));
 
 for (;;) {
 
  send(sd, "HI", 2, 0 );
 
 printf("sent HI\n");
 sleep(2);
 }
}

Usage example:

% tcpClient0 localhost 10101

Comprehensive tcp Client & Server

server:

ü Creates a server socket,

ü Binds it to a port. The port can be specified using either:

· Argument to the program (e.g., argv[1]), or

· Choosen by the system (0) and displayed after bind, useing getsockname.

ü Receives a message from a client and displays:

· The received message,

· The ip/name of the client,  and

· The port information of the client.

ü Sends (echo back) the received message to its sender.

client:

ü Creates a client socket and contacts the server using two arguments: <host> <port>

ü Sends to the server a message typed by the user.

ü Recieves from the server the echoed message and displays it along with the ip/name and port information of the server.
