Local file transfer-python

Here is the python code to send a file from a local server to a local client.

# server.py

import socket                   # Import socket module

port = 60000                    # Reserve a port for your service.

s = socket.socket()             # Create a socket object

host = socket.gethostname()     # Get local machine name

s.bind((host, port))            # Bind to the port

s.listen(5)                     # Now wait for client connection.

print 'Server listening....'

while True:

    conn, addr = s.accept()     # Establish connection with client.

    print 'Got connection from', addr

    data = conn.recv(1024)

    print'Server received', repr(data)

    filename='mytext.txt'

    f = open(filename,'rb')

    l = f.read(1024)

    while (l):

       conn.send(l)

       print 'Sent ',repr(l)

       l = f.read(1024)

    f.close()

    print 'Done sending'

    conn.send('Thank you for connecting')

    conn.close()

# client.py

import socket                   # Import socket module

s = socket.socket()             # Create a socket object

host = socket.gethostname()     # Get local machine name

port = 60000                    # Reserve a port for your service.

s.connect((host, port))

s.send("Hello server!")

with open('received_file', 'wb') as f:

    print 'file opened'

    while True:

        print 'receiving data...'

        data = s.recv(1024)

        print 'data=%s', data

        if not data:

            break

        # write data to a file

        f.write(data)

f.close()

print 'Successfully get the file'

s.close()

print 'connection closed'
