Running the program

Compile the programs. A simple make should work, assuming gcc is available in your $PATH.

Open two terminal sessions. In the first, execute the receiver (recv) like so:

./recv

Note: For this part you'll need a file to transfer. For convenience, we've included one in the project (file.txt) that has 3543 lines of "lorem ipsum".

In the second, execute the sender with a file of your choice like so:

./sender file.txt

Testing the transfer worked

# this should return 0
diff recvfile file.txt | wc -l
