Abstract
The sole purpose in this research is to brief about the (need for, types of) various networking sockets, their various APIs available, and its deployment pertaining to network programming. Sockets are the apex need in client server applications. When there is a need to read or write any message between server and the client, the socket is the apropos choice. The invention of sockets was done during the production of Unix operating system particularly Berkeley Software Distribution OS. And their growth within the Internet is far from invincible now. This paper brings about need and rudimentary factors of socket programming and ideas behind creating sockets for file transfer between the various systems.
