basic_socket_programing is not a command, its a program you want to execute with python, so:

python Basic_Socket_Programing

This is where my knowlegde ends, i always code on Linux, rarely on windows

I don’t think you read the error message.

But if you did and you’re having trouble addressing what it’s telling you, then explain what that trouble is - there’s no way anyone will guess what that trouble is.

Hi @stetim94 … Thanks for your replay… yea… but iam not sure about the reason behind this issue… as per the code it should connect to the server… right? could you please tell me how can fix those…

Let me brief the scenario here

  1. I have a Linux machine(Kali) in VM that considered/stand as server remotely for which the server listen program already done
  2. Now i want my windows(Client) machine to connect to the server- that is linux… so this above code i believe it does …

Please let me know if there any issue respect to the code

Appreciate for your help
Thanks

pretty much everything you said here is not relevant. (no offense indented)

You have an error, causes by incorrectly using .connect(), you supply two arguments while connect can only handle one

yea @stetim94 i refereed some example for the same program and all where the arguments supplied was 2 ie - host and port… let me know what would be the exact method to connect to the host if the above is wrong…

Thanks

Once you’ve identified that you’re using wrong arguments, look up its documentation to find out what it should be. You can find them by googling, including language name, module name, and function name should make it trivial to find
