i want to do the following :-
transfer file from client to server using sockets in a windows based application.
I am stuck at the server side code.

Server side :
-------------
my problem : how to receive file from multiple clients and save file on server c:\folder

following is the

Client side code
------------------

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Net;
using System.IO;
using System.Net.Sockets;

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
OpenFileDialog ofpd = new OpenFileDialog();
ofpd.ShowDialog();
textBox1.Text = ofpd.FileName;
}

private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Stream Fs = File.OpenRead(textBox1.Text);
Byte[] buffer = new Byte[Fs.Length];
Fs.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
TcpClient socket = new TcpClient(“Localhost”, 1095);
NetworkStream nw = socket.GetStream();
nw.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
nw.Close();
}

Please help me.. Thanks in advance..

hi
This is a console based application. You need to run first Server application then client. This for local host(same machine). If you run in different machine, need to configure once. About server IP/address in client code, file path & folder.

[B]Server code:[/B]

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Sockets;
using System.IO;
namespace beginSocketServer
{
//FILE TRANSFER USING C#.NET SOCKET - SERVER
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
try
{
Console.WriteLine("That program can transfer small file. I've test up to 850kb file");
IPEndPoint ipEnd = new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any, 5656);
Socket sock = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.IP);
sock.Bind(ipEnd);
sock.Listen(100);
//clientSock is the socket object of client, so we can use it now to transfer data to client
Socket clientSock = sock.Accept();




string fileName = "test.txt";// "Your File Name";
string filePath = @"C:\FT\";//Your File Path;
byte[] fileNameByte = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(fileName);


byte[] fileData = File.ReadAllBytes(filePath + fileName);
byte[] clientData = new byte[4 + fileNameByte.Length + fileData.Length];
byte[] fileNameLen = BitConverter.GetBytes(fileNameByte.Length);


fileNameLen.CopyTo(clientData, 0);
fileNameByte.CopyTo(clientData, 4);
fileData.CopyTo(clientData, 4 + fileNameByte.Length);




clientSock.Send(clientData);
Console.WriteLine("File:{0} has been sent.", fileName);




clientSock.Close();
Console.ReadLine();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine("File Receiving fail." + ex.Message);
}
}
}
}

namespace Client_Socket

IPAddress[] ipAddress = Dns.GetHostAddresses("localhost");
IPEndPoint ipEnd = new IPEndPoint(ipAddress[0], 5656);
Socket clientSock = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.IP);
clientSock.Connect(ipEnd);




byte[] clientData = new byte[1024 * 5000];
string receivedPath = "C:/";


int receivedBytesLen = clientSock.Receive(clientData);


int fileNameLen = BitConverter.ToInt32(clientData, 0);
string fileName = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(clientData, 4, fileNameLen);


Console.WriteLine("Client:{0} connected & File {1} started received.", clientSock.RemoteEndPoint, fileName);


BinaryWriter bWrite = new BinaryWriter(File.Open(receivedPath + fileName, FileMode.Append)); ;
bWrite.Write(clientData, 4 + fileNameLen, receivedBytesLen - 4 - fileNameLen);


Console.WriteLine("File: {0} received & saved at path: {1}", fileName, receivedPath);


bWrite.Close();
clientSock.Close();
Console.ReadLine();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine("File Sending fail." + ex.Message);
}


}
}
}

mark your thread as solved.
