Basic Server to Connect Client

This folder contains the source code for a basic client-server application. The server listens for incoming client connections and responds to client messages. The client connects to the server, sends a message, and receives a response.

Files

• client-1.cpp: Contains the implementation of the client-side application.
• server-1.cpp: Contains the implementation of the server-side application.

How to Build

To compile the client and server programs, use the following commands:

g++ -o client client-1.cpp
g++ -o server server-1.cpp

How to Run

1. Start the server:

   ./server

2. In a separate terminal, start the client:

   ./client

Description

Server (server-1.cpp)

• The server creates a socket and binds it to a specific port.
• It listens for incoming client connections.
• Upon accepting a connection, it reads a message from the client, prints it, and sends a response back to the client.
• The server handles one client connection at a time.

Client (client-1.cpp)

• The client creates a socket and connects to the server.
• It sends a message to the server.
• It reads the response from the server and prints it.
