file doesn't exist

[mcgrim]

well, than is a mystery why it still doesn't work, lol !

[buran]

how do you run them? show the full output from both server and client terminal. Maybe even a screenshot of both

[mcgrim]

I am running them on pycharm, I just click on 'run'
I start with the server first

Output:
C:\Users\PycharmProjects\client-server\venv\Scripts\python.exe C:/Users/PycharmProjects/client-server/server_2.py
server started...
client connected ip>:('127.0.0.1', 61017)

Output:
C:\Users\PycharmProjects\client-server\venv\Scripts\python.exe C:/Users/PycharmProjects/client-server/client_2.py
enter file name ->upper.txt
this file exists 18bytes, download(Y/N)?y

Process finished with exit code 0

[buran]

well, look at this line
this file exists 18bytes, download(Y/N)?y

here you enter small y while the code expects capital Y

you can change

if message == 'Y':

to

if message.lower() == 'y':

this way it will work for both lower and upper case Y

[mcgrim]

nevermind, the mistake was very silly.
It is supposed to be Y and not y.
Now is downloading it, but in the same folder as the previous one

[buran]

you can change it to download to whatever folder you want - just fix the path in the client script

[mcgrim]

I have a question: it downloads it only once.
If I run the client multiple times, it doesn't download
anymore duplicates.
Is it normal ?

[buran]

actually it overwrites the previous one with the same name, you can change the file between 2 runs to check for yourself

[mcgrim]

If one wants to change the client code and eliminate the dialogue box, and write the file directly,
how would you implement it?
just by writing

filename = open("something.png", wb)

instead of the input command, gives you an error.
how come ?

[buran]

filename = 'something.png'

to replace

filename = input("enter file name ->")
