Client Server C program

November 28, 2015 by Dhaval Dave

Today we are going to show you to write simple C level Client – Server Networking & Communication program. This Program and methods are base to create any communication software like whatsapp, fb chat or other, because each connected terminal’s chat goes via server and then routed to device. So this is fist step for communication.

Step 1 : Understand Client Server Communication architecture from book

Step 2 : Run this client and Server code, modify and understand.

Step 3: Enjoy :)

Client Code

#include <arpa/inet.h>

#define RAND_MAX 3

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int sockfd;//client & Main Server
int c_len;
int i,j,rc;
char buff[100];
struct sockaddr_in c_address;
printf("**********This is the client program*************\n");

sockfd=socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM,0);
c_address.sin_family = AF_INET;
c_address.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("127.0.0.1");
c_address.sin_port = htons(7734);
c_len=sizeof(c_address);
rc=connect(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *)&c_address, c_len);
if(rc==1){
perror("Error in Client-Server Connect");

send(sockfd,buff,100,0);
