AIM:
To write a C program to transfer a file using TCP.

Step 7:
Step 8:

Start the program.

Create an unnamed socket for the server using parameters AF_INET as domain
and SOCK_STREAM as type
Get the server port number register the host address to system by using bind()
system call in the server side
Create a connection queue and wait for clients using listen() system call with the
number of clients as parameter
Create a child process using fork() system call.
If the process identification number is equal to zero accept the connection using
accept() system call when the client request for the connection
If pid is not equal to zero then exit the process.
Stop the program execution.

Step 7:
Step 8:

Start the program.

Create an unnamed socket for the server using parameters AF_INET as domain
and SOCK_STREAM.
Get the client port number.
Now connect the socket to the server using connect() system call.
Enter the filename.
The file is transferred from client to server using send() function.
Print the contents of the file in a new file.
Stop the program.

OUTPUT:
SERVER:
[rit@localhost~]$ cc serverftp.c
[rit@localhost~]$ ./a.out
Enter the server port
4563
4563
Socket is created
Binded
Accepted

CLIENT:
[rit@localhost~]$ cc clientftp.c
[rit@localhost~]$ ./a.out
Enter the port
4563
4563
Socket is created
Connected
Enter the existing filename: abc
Enter the new filename

: xyz

Hello friends
Bye
File transferred

RESULT:
Thus the C program for file transfer using TCP is implemented and executed
successfully.
