Hey guys, I need help with this client server program I am working on. Description:
The server program takes port # as a command-line argument and performs the following
operations:
1. Opens a socket connection on the specified port
2. Listen for request from clients
3. When a client program sends a request, create a new thread to performs the appropriate
action based on the request
4. Go to step 2
The client program takes the hostname and port # on which the server process is listening as
command-line arguments and performs the following operations:
1. Open a socket connection to connect with the server process
2. Process inputs from the user
3. Send the appropriate command/request to the server process
4. Wait for the server to perform the appropriate action and respond to the client request
5. Process server response if necessary
6. Go to step 2, if the input is “QUIT” then exit.
The various commands that the client and server can process along with the action performed at
the server is given below:
LIST – Send list files in the current directory on the server (initially the directory where the
server program was started would be the current directory)
SIZE filename – Send file size of the specified file name, a negative number if file does not exist
GET filename – Send the specified file to the client process; if the specified file does not exist on
the server then the server send an error message (a negative #); filename is assumed to reside in
the current directory on server and copied to the current directory on the localhost.
PUT filename – Receive the specified file from the client; filename is assumed to be residing in
the current directory on client and is copied to the current directory on the server.
CD newdirectory – change to specified directory on the server; print an error message if the
directory does not exist.
QUIT – client program exists after closing any open connections, no action is performed on the
server.
Assume that the files are in binary format for file transfer.

this is the textreader class

/*   
This file defines the Class TextReader as a subclass of FilterReader..
The TextReader provides methods for reading data expressed in human-readable
ASCII text format.

This file also defines three public subclasses of RuntimeException to represent
errors that can occur during input.  These classes are static nested inside the
TextReader class.

This is a modest variation on an earlier class called AsciiInputStream, which served
a similar function for Java 1.0, where InputStreams are used instead of Readers
for character input.

    // In that case, when an exception occurs during processing by one of the methods
    // of the TextReader class, an errorFlag is set but no exception is thrown.

// *************************** Input Methods ********************************

  // peek()  -- returns the next character about to be read from the stream,
  //     without removing it from the stream.  '\n' is returned if the next
  //     thing in the stream is end-of-line.  '\0' is returned if the next
  //     thing is end-of-file.  (There is no way for peek() to distinguish
  //     between EOF and a null character in the input data.  Use eof() to
  //     test for end-of-file.)
  
  // getAnyChar() -- reads and returns the next character in the stream, even if it
  //     is a whitespace character.  It is an error to read past end-of-file.
  //     (Note that getChar() skips over whitespace characters before reading.)
  
  // getChar(), getByte(), etc. -- skip over whitespace characters, then try to read a
  //     value of the specified type.  An error can occur if the right type of data
  //     is not found.  A "word" is any sequence of non-whitespace characters.
  //     A "boolean" is one of the words (ignoring case) "true", "false", "yes", "no"
  //     "t", "f", "y", "n", "0", "1".  An "Alpha" is a sequence of letters.  getAlpha()
  //     is a special case in that it will skip over all non-letters before reading,
  //     rather than just skipping whitespace characters.
  
  // getln() -- reads all characters up to the next end-of-line and returns them
  //     as a String.  The end-of-line is then read and discarded.
  
  // getlnChar(), getlnByte() etc. -- Work the same as getChar(), etc., except that
  //     after the value is read, any other characters on the same line, including the
  //     end-of-line, are read and discarded.
  
  // eoln() -- this first reads and discards any spaces and tabs.  Then tests whether
  //     the next thing in the stream is an end-of-line.  The end-of-file also counts
  //     as an end of line.  If you want to test for eoln without discarding spaces
  //     and tabs, check whether peek() == '\n' or '\0'.

  // eof() -- this first reads and discards any spaces, ends-of-line and tabs.  Then tests
  //     whether the next thing in the stream is the end-of-file.  If you want to test for
  //     eof without discarding spaces, ends-of-line, and tabs, check whether peek() == '\0'.
  
  // skipWhiteSpace() -- reads and discards any whitespace characters (spaces, tabs, and
  //     end-of-lines).  Stops when the next character is a non-whitespace character or is eof.
  
  // skipNonLetters() -- reads and discards any non-letters, stopping when the next character
  //     is a letter or the end-of-file.

So what is your soecific problem? What error are you getting? What effect are you observing that you did not expect?

I am not sure if my Client/Server is working correctly. I am trying to get them to where they will do what the specs ask. I am not sure if I am even approaching it correctly because I have no experience in this area and was wondering if someone could let me know if it was close to being right or not and what I needed to change.

1) I am unsure about the command line arguments and how to use them to look for server and port #.

2) Once #1 works, then I can make sure the client and server connect- right now I am having a hard time figuring out how to make them connect correctly.

3) Don't know if I am getting the upload/download sections working correctly.

4) Not sure how to change directories in java.

5) I am going to I'm also going to list errors below:

The client gives me this error:
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 0
at Client.main(Client.java:29)
Exception in thread "main"

The server gives me this error, but only if I have it used more than once:
java.net.BindException: Address already in use: JVM_Bind
at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketBind(Native Method)
at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.bind(PlainSocketImpl.java:331)
at java.net.ServerSocket.bind(ServerSocket.java:318)
at java.net.ServerSocket.<init>(ServerSocket.java:185)
at java.net.ServerSocket.<init>(ServerSocket.java:97)
at FileServer$ConnectionHandler.main(FileServer.java:240)
Exception in thread "main"
