This project involves the development of a client-server system where clients can request files from a server, and the server retrieves and returns the requested files. The system supports multiple clients connecting from different machines and communicating with the server through sockets.
The project consists of the following components:
- Server (
serverw24.c): Handles client connections and file retrieval requests. - Client (
clientw24.c): Sends requests to the server and receives files. - Mirror 1 (
mirror1.c): Alternate server instance for handling client connections. - Mirror 2 (
mirror2.c): Another alternate server instance.
- The server, Mirror 1, and Mirror 2 must run on different machines or terminals.
- Clients can connect to the server using specified commands to request files.
- Each client command is defined and must be processed accordingly by the server.
