The document describes transferring a file from a server to client using TCP sockets in 3 steps: 1) The server creates a socket, binds it to a port, and listens for connections. 2) When the server receives a file name from the client, it reads the file contents and sends it to the client. 3) The client creates a socket, connects to the server, sends the file name, receives the file contents and saves it locally.

Exercise 2b: File Transfer using TCP

Karun Anantharaman - 195001049


AIM:
To transfer a file from server to client using TCP socket programming
ALGORITHM:
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.
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
