Linux Programming Personal Project for the First Semester of 2023

Developing a program that runs on a Linux operating system

Outline

Develop server/client processes to request and receive files

Server

While the server is running, it transmits files requested by clients through IPC-Socket.
If a non-existent file (or an incorrectly named file) is requested, a failure message is sent.
The server outputs the requested file to standard output and transmits the file to the requesting client.
The server must be designed with multi-threading and be capable of handling simultaneous requests from multiple clients.
There is no separate shutdown routine.

Client

Upon execution, the client receives the file to request through argv[1].
It connects to the server, requests a file, and terminates the process when the transfer is complete.
If a non-existent file (or an incorrectly named file) is requested and a failure message is received from the server, it is printed to standard output, and the client terminates.
