I have a client /server file operation program.It works properly when i run the client and server program in the same system.but when i try to run the client in one system and server in another system i am getting an error in the cleint machine as "ERROR:Connection refused". Plz help me in this
On your server side, you are not specifying an IP address (which later is used to bind your port)... at least that is what I gather when I examined your getaddrinfo(). Thus I bet your are binding to 127.0.0.1.
Hence your client, which I presume is being provided an IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.100) and port utilized by the server, is getting a "connection refused" simply because there is no server bound to that address.
It works properly when i run the client and server program in the same system.
You need to tell the server to use the INADDR_ANY address so that it listens for connections on all available network interfaces.
As dwhitney67 surmised, the first entry in your list is "localhost" or "127.0.0.1". If you only listen on that interface, you can only accept connections from processes running on the same machine.
