sockets - Sending a file from local to server using python - the correct way -

probably simple question used play socket module. didn't understand far why can't send simple file.

as far know there 4 important steps when send info on socket:

• open socket
• bind
• listen
• accept ( possibly needed multiple times ).

now, want creating file on local machine , fill info. ( been there, done - far )

then, create client flow, following:

s = socket.socket() # create socket s.connect(("localhost", 8081)) # trying connect connect on 8081 port  f = open("logs.txt", "rb+") # i'm opening file contains want l = f.read(1024) # i'm reading file  # i'm sending info file while l:     s.send(l)     l = f.read(1024) s.close() 

of course, firstly, i'm creating server (at first, on localhost) open port , create connection allow byte-chunked data sent.

import socket import sys  s = socket.socket() # create socket s.bind(("localhost", 8081)) # bind s.listen(10)  while true:     sc, address = s.accept()     print sc, address     f = open('logs_1.txt', 'wb+') # trying open new file on server ( in case localhost )     while true: # write data file , close         l = sc.recv(1024)         f.write(l)         l = sc.recv(1024)         while l:             f.write(l)             l = sc.recv(1024)     f.close()     sc.close() s.close() 

now, doesn't work on ubuntu 14.10 machine:

• the server part runs without error when doing python server.py

• after client script finishes writing data in logs.txt , connects server, following response on server:

  <socket._socketobject object @ 0x7fcdb3cf4750> ('127.0.0.1', 56821) 

what doing wrong ? port different 1 set ( know port not used - verifiet nc ).

can explain me how correctly treat problem ?

i'm not sure second while true loop for. remove that, , works expect:

import socket import sys  s = socket.socket() # create socket s.bind(("localhost", 8081)) # bind s.listen(10)  while true:     sc, address = s.accept()     print sc, address     f = open('logs_1.txt', 'wb+')     l = sc.recv(1024)     while l:         f.write(l)         l = sc.recv(1024)     f.close()     sc.close() s.close()
