this deserves way more attention. i was looking around online for similar resources and could find nothing but awfully explained bloated messes of solutions that sometimes contained errors and wouldnt even compile. then i watched this video and i now have a real understanding of the topic that i can actually build on, not to mention the complete lack of errors or warnings. thanks for this tutorial!

nice tutorial for beginners. am totally new to socket programming, and this made sense! Just to add, I got an error while using the close() method. to fix that add #include to your headers
Whoa... this is REALLY good! I've watched a few tutorials on this subject. This one feels rehearsed, and it both proactively tackles likely viewer questions, and at the same time avoids getting lost with improv explaining (doesn't go off the path). Subscribed! Only suggestion I have is improve the "still image" we see in UA-cam results (based on that image.. plus the logo.. I made incorrect assumptions about the content and speaker).
What a great tutorial! Thank you so much for making it. I just did a series of (free) courses to learn the basics of C, and I thought a fun next thing to learn would be sockets. Thanks to your tutorial, I feel like I'm getting a nice start with it. I'll also check the references, because I want to know all the options!
If anyone gets an error about using the close() function to close the socket, I added to the include files "include ". I'm running my program on a Mac with Xcode's gcc compiler.
Thank you, this is an awesome video in just the right tempo for me. There are some things I was wondering though. I got a problem with the close function, so I imported to avoid getting a warning. and then instead of closing "sock" then I closed "network_socket" as you said that that was the file descriptor. Maybe it would be nice if you added that as a note or something in the video. Again thank you. It it a very nice video
You should include the following line #include to prevent messages like this: " warning: implicit declaration of function ‘close’; did you mean ‘pclose’? [-Wimplicit-function-declaration] close(network_socket);"
Thanks a lot. It means a lot. because i had to give my practical on this and our professor did not have sufficient time to give lectures on this topic due to covid19.

Really good tutorial, may I suggest as a minor improvement when you mention how you can detect errors when the call to connect returns -1, you can find out more detail about the specific error that happened by including the errno along with the errno converted to a string. The errno information will give you a more precise reason on why a network operation failed which can be very helpful for troubleshooting. This works in general for all the network api function calls.
thanks for sharing quality knowledge. small suggestion - probably bit of zoom in and using some other editor or different background color would improve watching experience and more soothing, thanks !!
I got a warning from the compiler for the close() function, I don't think it was defined in the headers so I put the unistd.h header. Anyone watching this I would probably #include because otherwise I'm not sure if your socket will be closed at the end.
I'm very familiar with network protocols and have done a lot of experimentation with netcat, sending custom made files that would contain the appropriate headers / payloads that would essentially "ride" on top of TCP/IP that netcat was taking care of for me. Of course, the limitation here is that though you will receive a server response, that's where the session ends. I can envision how I might do this programmatically Bash, parsing the response header and payload and creating a new file based on the response. The obvious problem is that if I just sent the new file (again riding on TCP/IP via netcat, a new TCP handshake would happen), which of course, would start a new connection which is not going to work. Also, I've done a few simple programs in C, understand the basics - data types, flow control, pointers etc. But the examples I've seen of structs are nothing like what I see he's using here - the structs I've seen declared a name and then had a list of disparate data types listed inside curly braces. Here, he's got 2 different variables separated by a space and is even using dot syntax - it looks like an object! I want to be able to parse custom headers, and send custom payloads (binary). Sorry for the long post but I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. It would be great if I could accomplish this in Bash but maybe I should tackle Java and write a Burp extension. Thoughts?
I guess we are going to ignore Nagle, and man in the middle. (lol), not to mention multiplexing (multiple sockets). I know right....with each "detail", comes more complexity. But, knowing whom is connecting is an important security feature. I found this to be a great way to spend my 3:20 am awake time.
If you are lost by this "introduction", you'd, really be lost when Nagle is introduced. Basically put, TCP/IP, is a stream, you cannot be assured that one read or write successfully wrote the entire thing you wanted. Or it might have read more then one. Thus, you first gotcha with sockets, is to define your own socket header, so, you know how many bytes to expect. Then the next fun event, is when you need to also poll, your writes (lol). So, the simple implementation is trivial, but the details keep adding more and more complexity. what happens when the plug is pulled on the other side, lol. etc, etc.
In Java you only have to specify ip address and port. You have to write smaller amount of code in order to do the exact same thing. Although you do need to use dataInput(Output)Stream or BufferedInput(Output)Stream in order to receive/send data.
When I try it, with the exact same code that you wrote, it won't always connect to the server side and get connection errors from the client. What is the problem here?
this was really helpful. my college professor wasn't able to explain in this ordered manner, they were just jumbling things up and it wasn't really clear, after watching this video after that lecture, everything has cleared up. great lecture. subscribed.
your recv function, uses the buffer, char server_response[256]. So, the address of the buffer, is server_response. You used &server_response. which is wrong! yet it works for a quirky reason. The address of the array, is also the address of the first element .
Wonderful tutorial. I have an exceptionally basic level of C programming. With that said, your tutorial was clear, covered the background info on what was needed for the tasks being enabled, and might I say that this server/client exercise worked on my elderly macbook with OSX 10.5.8 and a PPC processor. Thank you! I had never thought to explore how I can pass data between two or more apps. This will do nicely. Than you again.
One of best explanation. Going to try your code along with my experimental code in addition. Thanks a lot to make me understand socket programming in one shot.. :)
For correct tcp handling you must first shutdown the socket and then close. I got every time a server error because the socket closed to soon. shutdown(sock, 2);
I have a question. I'm on windows platform . My Mingw compiler don't have file . Where can I find these header/source files and how to install it to use ?
I dont know a thing about socket programming ...not even basics and I have network programming lab in course . .can anybody suggest where I can learn this from The above video is no doubt wonderful but the point where he starts teaching from is also high level for me ...because i don't even know the alphabets of socket programming.. If anybody can help I would be really grateful.
This is a really good "hello world" example and I was able to follow along and complete the exercise with no problem (aside from needing to add the unistd.h header as so many have already suggested.) Is there any chance you can do a followup video showing how to extend this exercise a little? I'm interested in having 2 to 4 clients connect to the server, and being able to exchange information between the clients. In my case, I've written a simple text based card game in C ... and I would be interested in making it multiplayer. So if I can figure out how to have 2 clients connect and exchange basic information, then from there, I can easily have my little card game playable over the network by multiple people.
Hey please check the code because I am having an error with the function close, it was solved by the solutiuon proposed by @Simileoluwa Aluko. You have to add #include to your codes for you not to have the error with close(). Eventhough it was a excellent video. Thank you very much

Ubuntu here. Same problem and same fix. Thanks!
Ubuntu. I fixed it by changing .cpp to .c
Same with Linux Mint!
Holy shit, guy. If only all programming tutorials were like this.
9:54 for the sake of consistency in using header's enums, I'd recommend IPPROTO_IP instead of explicit 0.
Thank you, this is an awesome video in just the right tempo for me. There are some things I was wondering though.

Again thank you. It it a very nice video
This is the best free software Ive seen. Respect.
You should include the following line
#include
to prevent messages like this:
" warning: implicit declaration of function ‘close’; did you mean ‘pclose’? [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
close(network_socket);"
any idea why he does not need to include that?
I'm really grateful that you created this tutorial. Good job! Keep up the good work.

Tutorial for beginners... "we're going to use vim as the editor just to keep things simple". LOL!
#respect for him
if a person is competent enough to get to writing c sockets, I'd assume he is competent enough to figure out a text editor.
C coders are very old school they love to use antique software and pretend it's as comfortable and feature rich as any modern software. LOL
If you get stuck in vim just restart your PC and you'll get out of it
I use VIM since a year,... Since I never found how to exit VIM...
If your are getting warnings for close statement, also include unistd.h

Nice ! I was waiting for this for a long time ! Congratulations !
literally saved my life
I had to miss a lecture today on this, lovely content! Good pace and clear explanation.
This was an excellent tutorial, thanks!
Excellent tutorial man...
include unistd.h in your header and instead of sock write network_socket for errors in close function.
Basic UA-camr: If you have any questions write them in the comments.

"We are going to use VIM to keep it SIMPLE" - vim? simple? there is no such thing
vim is just an editor right? what makes it complicated? I'm totally new to network programming so please don't tear me apart for asking.
*+UnityPlays* I think OP's criticism is with regards to vim's exotic controls, they're a big hurdle for those not familiar with it.
Vim is great! Praise it! Praise it!
amen
It's not an IDE. All your build steps are on the command line is the point. Just use sublime text or whatever you want.
