CHAT SERVER

A very simple Java multithreaded application that runs on any terminal.

• Java Development Kit

To check if you have required tools run the following commands on your terminal:

java ChatServer

CONNECT

On a different terminal you can use telnet to connect to the server as it is listening for connections:

telnet localhost 8888

Note: I'd recommend running this application on a virtual machine or in a cloud instance (AWS/GCP/Linode) with a public IP, as long as you open port 8888.

If so, run you can connect using your public IP instead of localhost.

telnet <public-ip> 8888

Disclaimer: This application did not implement any kind of security measures. use at own risk
