Reference

http://www.linuxhowtos.org/C_C++/socket.htm

This site shows basic client and server code, with detailed explanation. The way it initializes sockaddr_in structure and uses socket-related system calls is really concise.

Thanks to this example, I realised that I should call shutdown, but not only close to destroy sockets. Moreover, its way to send requested file is much easier, directly opening the file with 'open' system call.
