hi
im new to linux programming. i have done the server to client and client to server program.
i have one doubt in that. In struct sockaddr_un.sun_path(how to give the path name).i ve created one directory called "tmpecho_socket" and the both(server to client and client to server ) are in the same directroy (tmpecho_socket)so i ve given the path name "/tmpecho_socket/". i dont know what i did is correct. but while running my server program im getting the error message "bind: Socket operation on non-socket". & in client "connect: No such file or directory". how can i solve my problem. Can someone give me the solution.Thankyou

That is incorrect it seems you are pointing to a directory instead of pointing to a socket file.

Thank you very much for your reply.How can i point to socket file?
My file name for client: "echoc.c" & server: "echos.c" both are in the same directory . can you explain me how to create the file(file name) and give the same to sun_path?

Take a look at this http://beej.us/guide/bgnet/

i ve gone through it. but it explains only about internet socket nothing given about unix domain socket

The file name can be any thing say /tmp/mytest.sock

You can then place that in a char variable say localSocket then

Thanks for your speedy response. now i ve to create one file in my directory then i ve to paste my both(client to server &server to client program). then i ve to give that file name to sun_path. is this right.
