Send a file through sockets in Python

Your code is getting stuck in the second while loop.

See:

import socket
import sys
s = socket.socket()
s.bind(("localhost",9999))
s.listen(10)

i=1

while True:
    sc, address = s.accept()

    print address

    f = open('file_'+str(i)+".pdf",'wb') #open in binary
    i=i+1
    print(i)
    l = 1
    while(l):
        l = sc.recv(1024)
        while (l):
            f.write(l)
            l = sc.recv(1024)
        f.close()


    sc.close()

s.close()

You must put all the code from sc, address = s.accept() upto sc.close() into another loop or the server simply terminates after receiving the first file. It doesn't crash, the script is just finished.

[EDIT] Here is the revised code:

import socket
import sys
s = socket.socket()
s.bind(("localhost",9999))
s.listen(10) # Accepts up to 10 connections.

while True:
    sc, address = s.accept()

    print address
    i=1
    f = open('file_'+ str(i)+".pdf",'wb') #open in binary
    i=i+1
    while (True):       
    # receive data and write it to file
        l = sc.recv(1024)
        while (l):
                f.write(l)
                l = sc.recv(1024)
    f.close()


    sc.close()

s.close()

Note that s.listen(10) means "set maximum accept rate to 10 connections", not "stop after 10 connections".
