I am trying to create a client to connect to a server with given url address.
I used this way
host_ip = socket.gethostbyname('HOST_NAME')
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
sock.bind(('127.0.0.1', 0))
sock.connect((host_ip, 8080))
but it printed the following error
OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument
Can someone explain me why is wrong and give me a solution?
You don't have to bind your socket, this is done server-side.
Here's the example code from the documentation for socket :
import socket
HOST = 'your-url.net' # The remote host
PORT = 8080 # The same port as used by the server
with socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) as s:
s.connect((HOST, PORT))
s.sendall(b'Hello, world')
data = s.recv(1024)
print('Received', repr(data))
This is a simple snippet, which connects to the server, sends some data, and prints the response.

I want to create a server-client connection that the client can always be connected to the server. How can I do it? Please help me. when I was trying, this error occurred.
"ConnectionResetError: [WinError 10054] An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host"
- code -
server:
import socket
try:
s=socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.bind((host,port))
s.listen(1)
conn, addr=s.accept()
while True:
conn.send(("Test message").encode())
print((conn.recv(1024)).decode())
except Exception as error:
print(str(error))
client:
import socket
try:
s=socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.connect((server_host,port))
while True:
print((s.recv(1024)).decode())
s.send(("Test message").encode())
except Exception as error:
print(str(error))
Some reasons cause this error message:
Server reused the connection because it has been idle for too long.
May be Client IP address or Port number not same as Server.
The network between server and client may be temporarily going down.
Server not started at first.
Your code seems to be OK. Did you run the Server at first time then client? Please make sure it. The below code fully tested on my computer.
Server:
import socket
HOST = '127.0.0.1' # (localhost)
PORT = 65432 # Port to listen on
with socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) as s:
s.bind((HOST, PORT))
s.listen()
conn, addr = s.accept()
while True:
data = conn.recv(1024).decode()
if not data:
break
conn.send(data.encode())
Client
import socket
HOST = '127.0.0.1' # Server's IP address
PORT = 65432 # Server's port
with socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) as s:
s.connect((HOST, PORT))
while True:
s.send(("Hi server, send me back this message please").encode())
data = s.recv(1024).decode()
print('(From Server) :', repr(data))
Note: Run the Server first then Client.
Output:
I know this was already asked but the previous questions didn't help. I'm trying to send some data using sockets. Specifically I'm using my laptop as server and a Linux emulator (Termux) on my smartphone as a client. Here below you can see the two Python codes. For the server:
import socket
HOST = ''
PORT = 5555
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.bind((HOST, PORT))
s.listen()
conn, addr = s.accept()
print('Connected by', addr)
while True:
data = conn.recv(1024)
if not data:
break
conn.sendall(data)
s.close()
And for the client:
import socket
HOST = ''
PORT = 5555
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.connect((HOST, PORT))
s.sendall(b'Hello, world')
data = s.recv(1024)
print('Received', repr(data))
s.close()
When I'm connected to the same WiFi and in HOST (in both codes) I put the IP I see from ipconfig (192.168.---.---) everything works. It also works if in the HOST of the server I put 0.0.0.0.
However, when I put the IP of the machine (that I can see on https://whatismyipaddress.com/) and instead of using the WiFi I use the phone connection I get: ConnectionRefusedError: [Errno 111] Connection Refused.
Can someone explain me how can I connect client and server when the networks are different? I have been stuck with this for a while.
I also tried to open a port on the Firewall following this procedure and put it in the code instead of 5555 but still it didn't work.
Thank you in advance for the help.
I'm doing an assignment regarding socket programming in python using a client and server. I'm currently on windows 10. Before getting into the little details of the assignment, I've been trying to simply connect the server and client.
Every time I try to run the client file, I would get this error
File "tcpclient.py", line 9, in <module>
s.connect((host, port))
ConnectionRefusedError: [WinError 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it
I have opened the firewall ports and still nothing. I've tried replacing host with '', 0.0.0.0, socket.gethostname() in both the client and server file but the error still persists. I've even tried different port numbers but it made no difference. I've tried running this code on Ubuntu and Max and I get the same error - connection refused. I've been researching for many solutions but I still have yet to find one that works. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Note: this code was taken online but it's essentially the basis of what I need to accomplish.
tcpclient.py
import socket
host = '127.0.0.1'
port = 80
buffer_size = 1024
text = "Hello, World!"
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.connect((host, port))
s.send(text)
data = s.recv(buffer_size)
s.close()
print("received data:", data)
tcpserver.py
import socket
host = '127.0.0.1'
port = 80
buffer_size = 20
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.bind((host, port))
s.listen(1)
conn, addr = s.accept()
print 'Connection address:', addr
while 1:
data = conn.recv(buffer_size)
if not data: break
print("received data:", data)
conn.send(data) # echo
conn.close()
Just use a different port. Both the client and server should have the same port and host if not it won't work. Make sure to run the server before the client script.
For client.py
import socket
host = '127.0.0.1'
port = 9879
buffer_size = 1024
text = "Hello, World!"
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.connect((host, port))
text = text.encode('utf-8')
s.send(text)
data = s.recv(buffer_size)
s.close()
print("received data:", data)
For server.py
import socket
mysocket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
buffer_size = 1024
text = "Hello, World!"
mysocket.bind(('127.0.0.1', 9879))
mysocket.listen(5)
(client, (ip,port)) = mysocket.accept()
print(client, port)
client.send(b"knock knock knock, I'm the server")
data = client.recv(buffer_size)
print(data.decode())
mysocket.close()
Just change the port number and it will work and if you are in python3 then you will have to encode and decode as socket recieves and sends only binary strings.
I have succeed in my server!
My server python script is below:
import socket
host='0.0.0.0'
port=2345
s=socket.socket()
s.bind((host,port))
s.listen(2)
while True:
conn,addr=s.accept()
print("Connected by",addr)
data=conn.recv(1024)
print("received data:",data)
conn.send(data)
conn.close()
My Client python script is below:
import socket
s=socket.socket()
host="xx.xx.xx.xx" #This is your Server IP!
port=2345
s.connect((host,port))
s.send(b"hello")
rece=s.recv(1024)
print("Received",rece)
s.close()
There is two points needed to be careful in the script:
1.The host of the Server must is
'0.0.0.0'
So that the python script could user all interfaces in the server
2.I have find the question's error through the prompt:
TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'
It means every string message in the 'send' method need to convert to 'bytes-like object',So the correct is
s.send(b"hello")
It is important that this is b'hello' not is 'hello'
I was following a tutorial that used threading to start the server. Once I removed the threading then I was able to connect to it.
I have got a server.py and a client.py.
If i run them on the same computer using the same port and host as 127.0.0.1 it works fine.
I got another laptop connected to the same network. I got my local ip address 129.94.209.9 and used that for the server. On the other laptop I tried connecting to the server but I couldn't.
Is this an issue with my code, with the network or I'm just using the wrong ip address?
Server.py
HOST = '129.94.209.9'
PORT = 9999
server_socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
server_socket.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1)
server_socket.bind((HOST, PORT))
server_socket.listen(10)
sockfd, addr = server_socket.accept()
send and receive messages etc....
Client.py
HOST = '129.94.209.9'
PORT = 9999
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
try:
sock.connect((HOST, PORT))
except:
print("Cannot connect to the server")
send and receive messages etc...
Client prints "Cannot connect to the server"
Thanks!!
UPDATES: thanks for the comments
1) I did do sockfd, addr = server_socket.accept() sorry I forgot to add it, it was a few lines further down in the code.
2) The error is: [Errno 11] Resource temporarily unavailable
3) Ping does work
EDIT: It is working now when I plug both computers in by ethernet cable to the same network. Not sure why my the won't work when they are right next to each other connected to wifi.
Thanks for all the suggestions! I'll investigate the network issue myself
Using the following code (my IP address rather than yours, of course) I see the expected behaviour.
so8srv.py:
import socket
HOST = '192.168.33.64'
PORT = 9999
server_socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
server_socket.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1)
server_socket.bind((HOST, PORT))
server_socket.listen(10)
print("Listening")
s = server_socket.accept()
print("Connected")
so8cli.py:
import socket
HOST = '192.168.33.64'
PORT = 9999
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
try:
sock.connect((HOST, PORT))
except Exception as e:
print("Cannot connect to the server:", e)
print("Connected")
When I run it, the server prints "Listening". When I then run the client, both it and the server print "Connected".
You will notice that, unlike your code, my client doesn't just print hte same diagnostic for any exception that's raised, but instead reports the exception. As a matter of sound practice you should avoid bare except clauses, since your program will then take the same action whether the exception is caused by a programming error or a user action such as KeyboardInterrupt.
Also try using this construction to obtain the IP address:
HOST=socket.gethostbyname(socket.gethostname())
#!/usr/bin/env python
import socket
clientsocket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
clientsocket.connect(('192.168.1.123', 5162))
clientsocket.send('getval.1')
clientsocket.close
clientsocket.bind(('192.168.1.124', 5163))
clientsocket.listen(1)
while True:
connection, address=clientsocket.accept()
value=connection.recv(1024)
print value
I'm trying to get python to send a message to the server, and in return the server responds. Yet when I execute this code it gives me
Socket.error: [Errno 10022] An invalid argument was supplied
It seems you wrote a mixed code of server and client
Here a simple sample of codes for socket programming the first on server side and the second on client
Server side code:
# server.py
import socket
import time
# create a socket object
serversocket = socket.socket(
socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
# get local machine name
host = socket.gethostname()
port = 9999
# bind to the port
serversocket.bind((host, port))
# queue up to 5 requests
serversocket.listen(5)
while True:
# establish a connection
clientsocket,addr = serversocket.accept()
print("Got a connection from %s" % str(addr))
currentTime = time.ctime(time.time()) + "\r\n"
clientsocket.send(currentTime.encode('ascii'))
clientsocket.close()
and now the client
# client.py
import socket
# create a socket object
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
# get local machine name
host = socket.gethostname()
port = 9999
# connection to hostname on the port.
s.connect((host, port))
# Receive no more than 1024 bytes
tm = s.recv(1024)
s.close()
print("The time got from the server is %s" % tm.decode('ascii'))
The server simply remained listened for any client and when it finds out a new connection it returns current datetime and closes the client connection
