Regarding client-server ???

[Aamit]

I am creating client -server architecture ...
1 server and 20 clients..are attached ...
when computer starts client sends abc.txt file information to server ...through socket port no 8000...server take this file and rename with that comp name...

problem is ->
when number of clients machine on at same time ..they sends information to server and server gets mixed output....socket is same.

how to solve this problem so server gets output individually for client??

Do i need to create a separate Server for every Client,or is any other way to archive this ??

Could you show some code from the server part? Only the connecting bit for example?
Also: what OS are you using?

i m using. XP...
server is continuously running ....
i m forget to add renaming of file code...

Shouldn't you by now be familiar with code tags??

is Multi-Threaded architecture works for it??
how??

>>how to solve this problem so server gets output individually for client??
Each client needs to use different ports. You can reserve a range of ports in the hosts file on the server computer so that nothing else on the server will take them. Assign port no 8000 to client #1, port 8001 to client #2, etc. Then in server side when recvfrom() gets something from client, server kicks off a thread to process the info so that the server can go back to recvfrom() without blocking.
