    UDP file transfer

    Hello everyone.

    I'm implementing a UDP file transfer. I was able to run this program yesterday, but after restarting my machine, the client program seems to loop infinitely on a certain part, specifically at rcvfrom(). I've ran wireshark and it says that the port that I'm using is unreachable. I tried using another port but it still doesn't work. I was able to run it again when I accidentally overflowed something after running another program(command line has trash characters suddenly appearing). And today, it doesn't seem to receive data again.

    What can possibly cause this error?

    The source codes can be found here:
    sender(client): sender7.c - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download

    receiver(server):
    rcv4.c - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download

    You should post your code here. I don't think many people are going to sign up at 4shared just so they can download and debug something for you.

    Remember to use code tags, and if you cut and paste from an application that adds mark-up by default, change it to plain text first.

    That is probably coincidence.

    Oh, sorry about that. I didn't know about the Code thing. So here it is:

    by the way, for the client these are some of the flags that might be worth mentioning:
    -f <filename> is the file you want to send
    -c <chunksize> is the size of the file per datagram sent
    -r ipaddressort

    and for the server:
    -f <filename> is the name that you want to give to the received file

    Client:
    Code:
    /* code for CoE 151 MP2 by RhayneX
    THIS IS THE WORKING CODE~!!
    compile using:
    
    
    gcc sender7.c -o sender7 -lm -Wall -lpthread 
    
    
    run using:
    
    
    ./sender7 -f slowstart.png -c 2000 -i 100 -d 100 -t 100 -vv -r 192.168.1.102:15151

    sorry for some if there are some commented printf in there, i use that to debug the thing somehow.

    Here's a list of things to do before trying to get people to read 1000+ lines of code.

    1. Indentation
    SourceForge.net: Indentation - cpwiki
    Unless it's perfect for this amount of code, nobody is going to give a damn

    2. magic numbers
    Replace all those 32 and 35 (and whatever) with meaningful constants like
    #define HEADER_LENGTH 35
    #define PACKET_LENGTH 32

    3. srand ( time(NULL) ); //generate random number
    Call this exactly ONCE at the start of main.
    In a loop, time() returns a constant, which means your next call(s) to rand() are going to return the SAME values as well.

    4. I'm guessing you're running this on linux, so the first thing to try is
    valgrind ./rcv -f hello.png -v -r 15151 -l 0
    and see how much it complains about out of bound memory accesses, and accesses to uninitialised variables.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    Quit with all the globals. Ideally, you shouldn't have any. But that huge list is terrible practice.

    Thanks for the replies. I've done the things you guys have said. Just a quick question though, Am I making doing this part of the code right? This is for the setup of the rcvfrom by the way.

    Code:
    void listener(int lost){//VARIABLES:
    	int sockfd;				
    	struct addrinfo hints, *servinfo, *p;	
    	int retval;				
    	int datasent;			
    	struct sockaddr_storage addr;	
    	socklen_t addr_len;				
    	int yes = 1;				
    	
    
    
    //set these values first
    	memset(&hints, 0, sizeof hints);
    	hints.ai_family = AF_UNSPEC; 
    	hints.ai_socktype = SOCK_DGRAM;
    	hints.ai_flags = AI_PASSIVE; 
    	retval = getaddrinfo(NULL, MYPORT, &hints, &servinfo);	
    	for(p = servinfo; p != NULL; p = p->ai_next) {		// loop through all the results and bind to the first we can
    		if ((sockfd = socket(p->ai_family, p->ai_socktype, p->ai_protocol)) == -1) {
    //			perror("listener: socket");
    			continue;
    		}
    
    
    		if (setsockopt(sockfd,SOL_SOCKET,SO_REUSEADDR,&yes,sizeof(int)) == -1) { 	//fix for address in use
    //			perror("setsockopt");
    		}
    
    
    		if (bind(sockfd, p->ai_addr, p->ai_addrlen) == -1) {
    		//	close(sockfd);
    			continue;
    		}
    		break;
    	}		//end for loop
    	if (p == NULL) {						//socket unable to bind
    		printf("listener: failed to bind socket\n");
    	}
    	freeaddrinfo(servinfo);							
    	addr_len = sizeof(addr);	
    
    
    	char *buf, *buf2;			
    	int fin = 0;
    	char flags[FLAG_LEN];
    	char temp[HEADER_LEN+PAYLOAD_LEN],temp2[PAYLOAD_LEN];
    	memset(temp,0,HEADER_LEN+PAYLOAD_LEN);
    	memset(temp2,0,PAYLOAD_LEN);
    	printf("syn_ack:%i\n",syn_ack_received);
    	while(syn_ack_received != 1){	
    		datasent = recvfrom(sockfd, temp, HEADER_LEN+PAYLOAD_LEN, 0, (struct sockaddr *)&addr, &addr_len);
    		rcv_ack = parsechunk(temp,temp2,datasent,rcv_ack,flags);
    		if(!strcmp(flags,"110")){
    			syn_ack_received = 1;
    			puts("syn ack packet received");
    		}
    	}
    	flags[0] = '0';
    	flags[1] = '0';
    	flags[2] = '0';
    	flags[3] = '\0';
    	buf = (char *)malloc(sizeof(char)*chunksize+HEADER_LEN);
    	buf2 = (char *)malloc(sizeof(char)*chunksize);
    	printf("Receiving data ack..\n");
    	while (fin != 1){
    		datasent = recvfrom(sockfd, buf, chunksize+HEADER_LEN, 0, (struct sockaddr *)&addr, &addr_len);
    		rcv_ack = parsechunk(buf,buf2,datasent,rcv_ack, flags);		
    			if(!strcmp(flags,"010")){
    				if(vv_flag == 1){
    					printf("Ack for Seq: %i received\n", rcv_ack - chunksize);
    					
    				}
    				update_ackflag(rcv_ack-chunksize,fileparse,lost);
    				memset(buf,0,chunksize+HEADER_LEN);
    				memset(buf2,0,chunksize);
    			}
    			else if(!strcmp(flags,"011")){
    				if(vv_flag == 1){
    					printf("Ack for Seq: %i received\n", rcv_ack - chunksize);
    					
    				}
    				update_ackflag(rcv_ack-chunksize,fileparse,lost);	
    				memset(buf,0,chunksize+35);
    				memset(buf2,0,chunksize);
    				sent_last = 1;
    				fin = 1;
    			}
    			else if(!strcmp(flags,"110")){
    				memset(buf,0,chunksize+35);
    				memset(buf2,0,chunksize);
    				puts("duplicate syn received");
    			}
    	}
    	puts("FIN ack received");
    	close(sockfd);		
    }

    Did you ever get this resolved? Seems to be looping in send_syn() for me where syn_ack_received gets tested. I only see one place in your code where this value changes. I agree with memcpy about the globals though. It's really late, maybe I can try and look further tomorrow.

    EDIT: You made your post just as I posted :P

    Yup, that's my big problem as of the moment. I traced it until the first rcvfrom(first call of rcvfrom from the listener function). It seems to me that the acknowledgement coming from the server is not getting received. According to Wireshark, the port is unreachable. I tried using a different port but still the same error is encountered.

    Code:
    while(syn_ack_received != 1){ datasent = recvfrom(sockfd, temp, HEADER_LEN+PAYLOAD_LEN, 0, (struct sockaddr *)&addr, &addr_len); rcv_ack = parsechunk(temp,temp2,datasent,rcv_ack,flags); if(!strcmp(flags,"110")){ syn_ack_received = 1; puts("syn ack packet received"); } }

    Another thing you *could* do is use a better system for flags.

    Start by #defining the ones you use:
    Code:
    #define SYN_SENT        0x001
    #define SYN_ACK_RECV 0x002
    #define SYN_ACK_SENT 0x004
    
    /* et cetera, remember to use powers of 2 for the constants */
    And then pick a sufficiently large data type to use, a 4-byte int usually works.

    How to use the flags:
    Code:
    int flags = 0;
    
    flags |= SYN_SENT; /* turn "on" SYN_SENT */
    flags &= ~SYN_SENT; /* turn "off" SYN_SENT */
    
    if (flags & SYN_SENT) /* check if SYN_SENT is "on" */
    if (!(flags & SYN_SENT)) /* check if SYN_SENT is "off" */
    You can set as many flags as you like, and then simply pass around the integer value to check the flag value.

    Oh, thanks for that advice. I might probably do that. On other news, I tried using my listener function in a simple "receiver-only" program and it works fine. What could probably cause the problem?

    With all of the control stuff in your code, why don't you just use a SOCK_STREAM instead? I wrote a very similar application that accomplishes the same end goal of sending a file from host a to host b and it works fine with a lot less code.

I wrote a very similar application that accomplishes the same end goal of sending a file from host a to host b and it works fine with a lot less code. I'm not a godly programmer so I'm sure there's stuff wrong with my code too. But just as a suggestion, here is my client code:

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <string.h>
    #include <sys/socket.h>
    #include <arpa/inet.h>
    #include <netinet/in.h>
    
    #define SEND_BUFFER 1024
     
    struct socket_args{
      int socket_fd;
      struct sockaddr_in server;
    };
    
    
    int prepare_file(FILE ** file_ptr, char * file_name){
    
      int file_size = 0;
    
      if(!(*file_ptr = fopen(file_name, "r+"))){
        perror("fopen()");
        exit(-1);
      }
    
      fseek(*file_ptr, 0, SEEK_END);
      file_size = ftell(*file_ptr);
      fseek(*file_ptr, 0, SEEK_SET);
    
      return file_size;
    
    }
    
    void prepare_socket(struct socket_args * sock_args){
    
      unsigned port;
      char ipv4[INET_ADDRSTRLEN];
    
      if((sock_args->socket_fd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0)) < 0){
        perror("socket()");
        exit(-1);
      }
    
      fputs("Enter a port and IP Address: ", stdout);
      scanf("%s %u", ipv4, &port);
    
      sock_args->server.sin_family = AF_INET;
      sock_args->server.sin_port = htons(port);
    
      inet_pton(AF_INET, ipv4, &sock_args->server.sin_addr);
    
    }
    
    void send_file(struct socket_args * sock_args , FILE * file_ptr){
    
      int rBytes, wBytes, allBytes;
      char file_buffer[SEND_BUFFER];
    
      if(connect(sock_args->socket_fd, (struct sockaddr*)&sock_args->server,
             sizeof(sock_args->server)) < 0){
        perror("connect()");
        exit(-1);
      }
      
      while(rBytes = fread(file_buffer, 1, SEND_BUFFER, file_ptr))
       wBytes += write(sock_args->socket_fd, file_buffer, rBytes);
      
      printf("%d bytes written to the socket...\n", wBytes);
    
    }
    
    int main(int argc, char **argv){
    
      if( argc == 2){
    
        FILE * file_ptr;
        struct socket_args sock_args;
    
        prepare_file(&file_ptr, argv[1]);
    
        prepare_socket(&sock_args);
      
        send_file(&sock_args, file_ptr);
    
        fclose(file_ptr);
        close(sock_args.socket_fd);
      }
    
    
      return 0;
    }
    is that for TCP? well, I need to implement it in UDP so i use SOCK_DGRAM >.<

    confirmed! The problem is really in the listener thread.
