socket connection getting closed abruptly with code 141

Question

What im trying to do is connect to a remote server , read contents from a file on the local machine and send it over to the server. Then capture the server response and sav

Answer 1

sizeof(&nc_args->destaddr) is the wrong thing to pass to connect. It wants the size of the address, not the size of a pointer to the address.

And this loop:

for (i=0 ; i

is baffling. buffer is a pointer, as we can see from when it was assigned a vlue returned by malloc. So its size is going to be 4 or 8 bytes on 32-bit and 64-bit architectures respectively; not related to the size of the malloc'ed object it points to. The loop runs 4 or 8 times, and prints... the same thing each time. Why?
