ABSTRACT

“Chatting on local area network” is one of the easiest way to communicate with your
friends, employees, colleagues and staff member in local networks. No internet connection is
needed. The only thing which is require for this application is server IP address and you will be
able to connect to other members through LAN . It can help you to talk to your friends even you
both do not have internet connection .As it is based on LAN. LAN i.e. local area network which
connect different client to each other and also client to main server. So we have used the same
concept here we are connecting two clients or client and server with each other and by providing
the IP address we can talk with each other. This application involves several features such as file
sharing, media sharing, messaging, uploading and downloading of files. For downloading we
provide a path to the directory where we have stored the files to the user who wants to download
particular file.
