Hi all, I have created a UDP program, client and server. What i'm trying to do is, hash a string, save the hasded code and the message into a .txt file and send it over to the server.

I have created the UDP program, MD5 hash codes and writing the output into a txt file. Cant seem to figure out how i could send the file over to my server. Can someone help me?

while waiting, i tried around to do the codes to send a file. Still can't seem to get things to work.

On the server end, i managed to create a file "receivedHashed.txt" but nothing is written to the file.

Here is my new codes.

UDP file transfer can be done by using DatagramSockets and DatagramPacket.

Hope it helps.
