README file This project contains two programs; client and server, which work in coordination of one another. The server program should be running before the client is executed. The client program requires an IP address as a commandline argument of the server. How to Compile: 1. Create a directory for the programs. 2. When creating a directory, make sure it has the following files: Client.c Server.c Makefile 3. Go to the directory in terminal and type in "make clean" command 4. Now type in "make" command 5. It should output: g++ -g -c client.c g++ -o client client.o g++ -g -c server.c g++ -o server server.o 6. Apply these rules to both the client and server programs How to run: 1. Open two window terminals 2. In the first terminal window, type in the command, "./server" 3. It should the send message: "The server is up, waiting for connection" 4. In the second terminal window, type in the next command: "./client 127.0.0.1" 5. Instructions will print on the client window. Commands: 1. msgget This command from client sends a message to server to return the message of the day. The server has access to file messages.txt and returns each message in that file in chronological order. 2. shutdown It will allow the user on the client side to shutdown the server. ONLY ROOT has access to shutdown the server. Will display a message stating that the server has shutdown. 3. login username password It will allow the user at client side to log in to access the server. The login command is followed by username and password. If the credentials are authenticated, the user logs in, otherwise, it will display an error message. 4. logout It will allow the logged in user to logout from the server 5. quit It will terminate the client connection from server. WIll display message indicating that client has been terminated. 6. msgstore It will allow the user to upload one message to the server. The server will save the message to the messages.txt file. The limit for messages is 20. Sample Output for Client: c: msgget s: 200 OK You always pass failure on the way to success c: msgstore s: 401 You are not currently logged in, login first c: login john john01 s: 200 OK c: MSGSTORE s: 200 OK s: Enter a message of the day c: Hello World s: 200 OK c: msgget s: 200 OK No one is perfect, that is why pencils have erasers c: msgget s: 200 OK It always seems impossible until it is done c: msgget s: 200 OK If opportunity does not knock, build a door c: msgget s: 200 OK The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra c: msgget s: 200 OK Hello World c: logout s: 200 OK c: shutdown s: 402 User not allowed c: login root ROOT01 s: 200 OK c: shutdown s: 200 OK c: quit s: 200 OK Client has terminated ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sample Output for Server: MSGGET MSGSTORE LOGIN JOHN JOHN01 MSGSTORE Hello World MSGGET MSGGET MSGGET MSGGET MSGGET LOGOUT SHUTDOWN LOGIN ROOT ROOT01 SHUTDOWN System has shutdown
