Hi I am trying to do multiple send's, but the server only recives the first send and displays the second send as empty:

Client code: (C++ code in Windows 2000 Professional)
send(sd, "A", sizeof("A"), 0);
send(sd, "G", sizeof("A"), 0);

Server code: (C code on QNXOS)
recv(ns,&c,sizeof(char),0);
recv(ns,&d,sizeof(char),0);
printf("Data1: %c", &c);
printf("Data1: %c", &d);

Output on Server:
Data1: A
Data2:

I would appreciate any help regarding the same.

Thanks

sizeof("A") is 2 because it includes the terminating '\0'

printf("Data1: %c", &d); just reads this final NUL

Hi,

well I had even tried this:-
printf("Data1: %s", &c);
printf("Data1: %s", &d);

It still gave me a balnk on the second recieve ?

This is wrong because both c & d aren't string pointers or arrays for you to use %s... They're char's because you're using sizeof(char).

Review C types.

I still don't see the point of sending twice and receiving twice

well actually I want to :-
1.) send command to server (ex- upload .. so it knows what to expect)
2.) send the filesize to server
3.) send the actual file to the server

Thats why I want to do multiple sends and recieves.

If you are using TCP you can still do that all in one send and just have the server receive it in pieces. (You could have the receiver read the whole stream and parse it afterwards, but that probably complicates it somewhat.)

well I have an options menu like

1) Upload File To Server
2) Download File from Server
3) ...
4) ...

So sending the entire stream once may not be the best idea, coz there are times
when I want to download a file from the server. Thats the reason I want to send the
command first, so the server knows what to do next
1) If Upload then it will wait for file size and the actual file data
2) If Download it will send a file size and the actual file data.

Any better suggestion and help on the initial consecutive send() is highly appreciated.

Thanks

I found something really strange, if the 2nd send() in the client side is replace by:-
send(sd, ch2, 1460, 0); //basically more than 1460

the server is able to get the data of ch2[]. Isnt that weird ???
Any explanations would be higly appreciated.

Thanks

Hello,

I also get a "Connection Reset By Peer" error when the server is not anle to get the 2nd recv() sent by the client ?? what exactly does that mean and how would I fix it ?

THanks
