Inside the project folder there are two files, server.c which basiclly defines the server socket and builds up the server and we have also client.c file which configures the client socket and connect to the server in order to start sending requests.
- Compile server.c file
gcc app/server.c -o server -lws2_32 -ladvapi32- Compile client.c file
gcc app/client.c -o client -lws2_32 -ladvapi32- Run the server.exe program first by executing the following command :
./server- will the server is know listening on the socket, we should run the client.exe program :
./client👏 👏 Great job !!
