TM298: Operating systems Arab Open University Short Tutor

This short TMA requires an implementation of a File Transfer Protocol using TCP sockets in JAVA. Only one command needs to be implemented in this program which is: PUT: Transfer a text file from client to a server.

Client Specifications for PUT Command

The file name should be passed as an argument to the client program when executed. The client should connect to the server using TCP sockets on port 4000, and it can be assumed that the server is running on the local host machine.

First, the client should send the command PUT file name to the server. Thereafter the client sends the text file line by line. Once the file transfer is finished, the client closes the socket connection. Messages should be printed on the client screen to show the progress of the file transfer command execution.

Server Specifications for PUT Command

The server should listen on port 4000. Once a client connects to the server, it must verify the command to be PUT and extract the file name. Then, it creates a local file using the received file name.

Afterwards, the server starts receiving the file from the client and writing it in the file. Once the file transfer is finished, the server closes the socket connection and the local file with messages printed on the server screen to show the progress of the file transfer command execution.

Multi-threaded Server Modification

To allow the server to serve multiple clients simultaneously, the server should be modified into a multithreaded application where each client request is served using a single thread. Once a client connects to the server, it should create a thread to receive the client command and the file, then wait immediately for another client connection request.

Bash Shell Script Specification

A bash shell script should be written that does the following: expects three arguments on the command line: the server name, the client name applications, and the file name to be sent. It checks if the number of arguments equals three; if not, it displays an error message.

If the number of arguments is correct, it executes the server first, followed by the client, and then displays the running processes including the thread. Finally, it lists the files and folders in the current directory. Execution of the bash script should be accompanied by a screenshot.

Paper For Above Instructions

In this assignment, we will implement a simple File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server and client in Java, which allows a client to send a text file to the server. We will follow the instructions provided for both the client and server specifications closely.

Java Implementation of FTP Server

We begin by creating the server, which will run on port 4000. Below is the implementation of our FTP server:

import java.io.*;


import java.net.*;


public class FTPServer {


public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {


ServerSocket serverSocket = new ServerSocket(4000);


System.out.println("FTP Server is running on port 4000...");


while (true) {


Socket clientSocket = serverSocket.accept();


new Thread(new ClientHandler(clientSocket)).start();


}


}


}


class ClientHandler implements Runnable {


private Socket clientSocket;


public ClientHandler(Socket socket) {


this.clientSocket = socket;


}


public void run() {


try {


BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(clientSocket.getInputStream()));


PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(clientSocket.getOutputStream(), true);


String command = in.readLine();


if (command.startsWith("PUT")) {


String fileName = command.split(" ")[1];


FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(fileName);


BufferedWriter fileWriter = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(fileOutputStream));


String line;


while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {


fileWriter.write(line);


fileWriter.newLine();


}


fileWriter.close();


out.println("File " + fileName + " received successfully.");


}


clientSocket.close();


} catch (IOException e) {


System.out.println("Error: " + e.getMessage());


}


}


}

Java Implementation of FTP Client

Next, we will implement the client that sends a file to the server using the PUT command.

import java.io.*;


import java.net.*;


public class FTPClient {


public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {


if (args.length 

System.out.println("Usage: java FTPClient ");


return;


}


String fileName = args[0];


Socket socket = new Socket("localhost", 4000);


PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(socket.getOutputStream(), true);


BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(fileName)));


out.println("PUT " + fileName);


String line;


while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {


out.println(line);


}


in.close();


socket.close();


}


}

Bash Script Implementation

Lastly, we need to create a bash script that will handle the execution of the server and client applications. Below is the implemented bash script.

!/bin/bash


if [ "$#" -ne 3 ]; then


echo "Error: Three arguments required - server name, client name, file name."


exit 1


fi


echo "Starting server..."


java FTPServer &


echo "Starting client..."


java FTPClient $3


echo "Listing current processes:"


ps -ef


echo "Listing files and folders in current directory:"


ls -l

Conclusion

In this assignment, we have developed a simple FTP server and client using Java, along with a bash script for executing them. The implementation follows the specifications given, demonstrating a basic understanding of distributed systems and file transfer protocols.
